Minoxidil is an antihypertensive vasodilator medication which also slows or stops hair loss and promotes hair regrowth. Now off-patent, it is available over-the-counter for the treatment of androgenic alopecia . Minoxidil must be used indefinitely for continued support of existing hair follicles and the maintenance of any experienced hair regrowth. It is marketed under many trade names, including Rogaine/Regaine , Vanarex , Mintop and Loniten (oral), and Avacor Physician s Formulation ( Avacor also produce a number of hair loss treatments that do not include minoxidil).
