Lonoten 5 mg is a prescription medicine containing 5 mg of minoxidil in each scored tablet. Minoxidil is a direct vasodilator that lowers blood pressure by relaxing the smooth muscles of peripheral arterioles.
Lonoten is indicated for severe arterial hypertension when treatment with a combination of at least two antihypertensive medicines, including a diuretic, has not provided adequate blood pressure control.
Each tablet contains:
The scored tablets can be divided into equal doses. The standard registered package contains 40 tablets.
Minoxidil dilates peripheral arterioles, reducing vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure. Because oral minoxidil may cause fluid retention and increased heart rate, treatment requires medical supervision and may be combined with other antihypertensive medicines.
The dosage is determined individually by a doctor. The official information states that the initial dose for adults and children over 12 years is 5 mg once daily. The dose may be gradually adjusted when necessary.
Do not change the prescribed dose or stop treatment without medical advice.
Possible adverse effects include:
Seek medical attention if severe shortness of breath, chest pain, significant swelling or a sudden deterioration in health occurs.
Although minoxidil is also used in some hair-loss treatments, Lonoten 5 mg tablets are registered for the treatment of severe hypertension. Oral minoxidil should not be used for hair growth without medical advice.
