Active Ingredient & Action

The active ingredient MINOXIDIL in LONITEN 10MG is a vasodilator that works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 3 (PDE3), leading to the relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels. This results in vasodilation, which reduces blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart, thereby reducing the risk of angina and other cardiovascular events.
