LONITAB 5 MG 10 mg

Lonitab

Lonitab is a vasodilator, which is a type of medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and alopecia (hair loss). Lonitab boosts hair growth and reduces the balding process. Hypertension is a long-term medical disorder in which the blood pressure against the artery walls is extremely high (blood vessels). It is thought to be a significant risk factor for cardiovascular (heart) disease. Alopecia, on the other hand, is a condition in which the hair on the scalp or any other region of the body thins or falls off.

Lonitab is a vasodilator that helps to open and relax constricted blood vessels (due to high blood pressure) in order to enhance blood flow and lower blood pressure. New Hair 4U 10% Solution When administered topically (on the scalp), 60 ml dilates the blood vessels. It activates potassium channels, which aid in the delivery of sufficient oxygen, blood, and nutrients to hair follicles, avoiding hair cell loss and encouraging new hair growth.

Oral and topical (for the scalp) formulations of Lonitab are available. The oral tablet form is used to treat hypertension and is often prescribed in conjunction with other medications to reduce adverse effects. Lonitab comes in a variety of topical forms, including solution, lotion, gel, shampoo, conditioner, serum, foam, and spray. Lonitab can have side effects in addition to its desired effects. Excessive hair growth, headache, skin irritation, dryness, redness, dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, and increased weight with fluid retention are all common side effects of Lonitab (oedema). These adverse effects normally do not require medical attention and subside over time as the treatment progresses. If you have any other symptoms that you believe are related to Lonitab, please visit your doctor or pharmacist.

To treat hair loss, do not take the oral tablet form of Lonitab. If you have high blood pressure, cardiovascular illness, cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythms), sunburn, or psoriasis, do not use a topical form of Lonitab. Lonitab should not be applied to shaved, inflammatory, infected, irritated, or painful scalp skin. Before taking Lonitab, inform your doctor if you have a history of pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumor), congestive heart failure (the heart doesn’t regularly pump blood), angina (chest discomfort), a recent heart attack, asthma, migraine, or seizures (fits). Before using Lonitab, pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice.

Hypertension, alopecia, and alopecia are among of the conditions that Lonitab can help with (hair loss)

Medical Advantages

Lonitab is an antihypertensive vasodilator used to treat hypertension and alopecia (hair loss and thinning of hair). Lonitab promotes hair development and helps to prevent balding. Lonitab increases blood flow by opening potassium channels and widening blood arteries. The process of vasodilation aids in the reduction of high blood pressure. New Hair 4U 10% Solution When applied topically, 60 ml stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles, ensuring that the hair cell receives enough nutrients and oxygen. This process of delivering oxygen and nutrients to the hair cell keeps it from dying and promotes hair growth.

Control your stress by doing yoga and meditation.

Get regular medical checkups to keep an eye on your hormonal profile and nutritional deficits that might lead to hair loss.

Patients’ Anxiety

Hair thinning or loss on the scalp or any other part of the body is known as alopecia. Hair loss can occur as a result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical disorders, or as a natural part of the aging process. Men are more likely to lose their hair.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a medical disease in which the blood pressure in the arteries remains consistently higher. Obesity, diabetes, smoking, high salt intake, stress, lack of physical activity, or ageing are all known risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The normal range for blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure is defined as a reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher.
