Minogain 2.5mg Tablet Price in Pakistan (Minoxidil Tablets)
Minogain 2.5mg Tablet contains Minoxidil 2.5mg, a prescription medicine. Minoxidil is approved for treating certain cases of severe hypertension that have not responded to other treatments. In dermatology, low-dose oral minoxidil may sometimes be prescribed off-label by specialists to manage certain forms of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia, when they determine that the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
Because oral minoxidil can affect blood pressure and the cardiovascular system, it should only be used under medical supervision.
