Lonitab 5mg offers minoxidil in a 5mg oral dosage form. Unlike topical minoxidil solutions, oral minoxidil acts throughout the body and produces a systemic vasodilating effect. Because of this, its use requires greater clinical oversight, with attention to blood pressure, heart rate, fluid retention, and individual medical history.

The 5mg strength provides a specific dose rather than an indication that the medicine is suitable for everyone seeking hair treatment. Oral minoxidil should only be taken according to the regimen established by a qualified healthcare professional. Any unusual swelling, rapid heartbeat, faintness, or significant changes in blood pressure should receive prompt medical attention.
