Lonitab

Lonitab is often used to treat severe hypertension (high blood pressure). It is generally used as a second-line treatment when other antihypertensive medicines have not been effective or are not suitable for a patient. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. This medicine may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and end-organ damage. While the active ingredient is Minoxidil, it also contains other inactive ingredients such as sodium benzoate, sodium starch glycolate, microcrystalline cellulose, anhydrous lactose, and others. Lonitab belongs to a group of medicines called antihypertensives. This medication works by widening the blood vessels. This effect helps to decrease high blood pressure.

Lonitab is a clinically proven oral medication designed to combat androgenetic alopecia in both men and women. Formulated with minoxidil as its active ingredient, it works systemically to stimulate hair follicles, prolong the anagen growth phase, and improve blood flow to the scalp. Trusted by dermatologists worldwide, Lonitab offers a convenient and effective solution for those seeking to restore hair density and confidence with a well-tolerated, prescription-based regimen.

Features

• Contains minoxidil 2.5 mg or 5 mg per tablet for flexible dosing
• Oral administration for systemic absorption and uniform coverage
• Manufactured under strict pharmaceutical quality control standards
• Prescription-only medication ensuring supervised usage

Benefits

• Promotes visible hair regrowth within 4–6 months of consistent use

• Offers a convenient, once-daily dosing alternative to topical treatments
• Suitable for extensive or vertex-pattern hair loss where topical application is impractical
• Helps improve self-esteem and quality of life through restored hair appearance
• Supported by decades of clinical research and real-world efficacy data

Common use

Lonitab is primarily indicated for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss). It may also be used off-label under medical supervision for other forms of alopecia, such as telogen effluvium or alopecia areata, when standard therapies have proven insufficient. It is most effective in patients with recent-onset hair loss and those with noticeable thinning at the crown or vertex.

Dosage and direction

The typical starting dose for men is 5 mg once daily, and for women, 2.5 mg once daily. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerability. Take Lonitab with or without food, preferably at the same time each day to maintain steady blood levels. Do not crush or split tablets unless advised by a healthcare provider. Treatment response may take several months; continuous use is necessary to sustain results.

Precautions

• Not recommended for individuals with underlying heart conditions, including arrhythmia or uncontrolled hypertension
• Use with caution in patients with renal or hepatic impairment
• Avoid in pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential systemic effects
• Periodic monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is advised during treatment
• Discontinue use if dizziness, chest pain, or rapid heartbeat occurs

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity to minoxidil or any excipients in Lonitab
• Pheochromocytoma
• History of heart failure, angina, or recent myocardial infarction
• Patients using guanethidine or similar potent antihypertensives

Possible side effects

Common side effects may include:

• Hypertrichosis (increased body hair growth)
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Edema (fluid retention)
• Tachycardia (rapid heart rate)
• Headache

Less frequently, allergic reactions, chest pain, or significant weight gain may occur. Most side effects are dose-dependent and often reversible upon discontinuation.

Drug interaction

Lonitab may interact with:

• Antihypertensive agents, potentiating blood pressure-lowering effects
• Diuretics, increasing risk of hypotension or electrolyte imbalance
• Topical minoxidil, leading to additive systemic exposure
• Sympathomimetic drugs, which may exacerbate cardiovascular side effects
• Always inform your physician of all medications, including over-the-counter products and supplements.

Missed dose

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to catch up. Maintain the regular dosing schedule to avoid fluctuations in drug levels.

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose may include severe hypotension, tachycardia, fluid retention, or cardiovascular collapse. In case of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Treatment is supportive and may include IV fluids and monitoring of vital signs.

Storage

Store Lonitab at room temperature (15–30°C), away from moisture, light, and heat. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging.
