Mechanism of Action

Minoxidil is a potassium channel opener, specifically targeting ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP). By opening these channels, it causes membrane hyperpolarization, leading to vasodilation and increased blood flow to hair follicles. This enhanced circulation is believed to:
✦Stimulate hair follicle activity
✦Prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle
✦Increase hair shaft diameter
✦Promote the transition from telogen (resting) to the anagen phase
Additionally, minoxidil may influence prostaglandin synthesis, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and cell proliferation in hair follicles.
