I was prescribed Lonitab 1.25 mg (Minoxidil) for hair loss. Since I do not have blood pressure or diabetes, is this prescription correct and safe for me?
Your prescription of Lonitab 1.25 mg (Minoxidil) for hair growth can be appropriate even if you do not have blood pressure or diabetes. Minoxidil was originally developed to treat high blood pressure by widening blood vessels, but it is now commonly used in lower doses to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. The 1.25 mg dose is relatively low and is usually prescribed for hair loss rather than for blood pressure control. It is essential to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and monitor for any side effects. If you experience any unusual symptoms, discuss them with your doctor for personalised advice.
