Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga
Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga stimulates hair growth by increasing oxygen, blood and nutrients supply to the hair follicle by widening blood vessels and inhibiting androgen hormone to affect hair follicles.
Following topical application, an average of about 1.4% of the total applied dose is absorbed from the normal intact scalp. Topical Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga absorption is increased by increasing the dose applied, increasing the frequency of dosing and decreasing the barrier function of the stratum corneum. Serum Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga levels and systemic effects resulting from the administration of topical Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga are governed by the drug’s absorption rate through the skin. Following cessation of topical dosing, approximately 95% of the systemically absorbed drug is eliminated within 4 days. Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga and its metabolites are excreted principally in the urine.
Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga is an orally effective direct acting peripheral vasodilator that reduces elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure by decreasing peripheral vascular resistance. Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga is also used topically to treat androgenetic alopecia. Microcirculatory blood flow in animals is enhanced or maintained in all systemic vascular beds. In man, forearm and renal vascular resistance decline; forearm blood flow increases while renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate are preserved. The predominant site of minoxidil action is arterial. Venodilation does not occur with minoxidil; thus, postural hypotension is unusual with its administration. The antihypertensive activity of minoxidil is due to its sulphate metabolite, minoxidil sulfate.

How Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga works
Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga is thought to promote the survival of human dermal papillary cells (DPCs) or hair cells by activating both extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt and by preventing cell death by increasing the ratio of BCl-2/Bax. Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga may stimulate the growth of human hairs by prolonging anagen through these proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects on DPCs. Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga, when used as a vasodilator, acts by opening adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle cells. This vasodilation may also improve the viability of hair cells or hair follicles.
Dosage
Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga dosage
Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga topical solution is for external use only and should be applied when the hair and scalp are clean and dry. Apply 1 ml (7 sprays) of Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga topical solution twice daily at 12-hour intervals to the scalp, beginning at the centre of the affected area and spreading the solution out to cover the entire affected area. The total daily application dose should not exceed 2 ml.
For the best results, Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga topical solution should be allowed to remain on the scalp for about 4 hours before washing. The night-time application should be done 2-4 hours before going to bed to allow the solution to dry out. Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga topical solution should not be massaged into the scalp, but applied lightly. A hair dryer should not be used to speed up the drying of the solution as it may decrease the effectiveness. Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga topical solution should not be mixed with any hair oil. The drug should not be used more than two times a day, or be taken orally or applied to any other part of the body to avoid the risk of adverse effects and unwanted hair growth. More frequent use or longer application time have no effect on hair growth. In case of missing any daily applications of Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga topical solution, the patient should continue with the next application.
Hands should be washed immediately if Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga topical solution is applied with the fingertips.

Commonly encountered side effects in clinical trials with Minoxidil Laboratoire Bailleul-Biorga topical solution were minor dermatological reactions. Dermatitis or hypertrichosis may occur. These incidences may occur in 0.1–5% of patients.
Toxicity
Oral LD50 in rats has ranged from 1321-3492 mg/kg; in mice, 2456-2648 mg/kg. Side effects include cardiovascular effects associated with hypotension such as sudden weight gain, rapid heart beat, faintness or dizziness.
Precaution
