How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Minoxidil). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 1.

General Pharmacologic Properties Minoxidil is an orally effective direct acting peripheral vasodilator that reduces elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure by decreasing peripheral vascular resistance.

Half-life4.2 h
Mostly cleared after≈ 21 hfive half-lives — our arithmetic
How the body breaks it down

Approximately 90% of the administered drug is metabolized, predominantly by conjugation with glucuronic acid at the N-oxide position in the pyrimidine ring, but also by conversion to more polar products.

How it leaves the body

Known metabolites exert much less pharmacologic effect than minoxidil itself; all are excreted principally in the urine.
