Minoxidil
Hair Loss Treatment, Vasodilator
A potent vasodilator originally developed as an antihypertensive. Its side effect of promoting hair growth led to its use as a topical treatment for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). Its mechanism for hair growth is not fully understood but involves widening blood vessels and prolonging the anagen phase of the hair cycle.
