A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Lonitab 2.5 Tablet. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Lonitab 2.5 Tablet contains Minoxidil (2.5mg).
Hypertension (high blood pressure) Treatment of Hair loss
Lonitab 2.5 Tablet belongs to the class of medicine known as potassium channel openers. It works by relaxing and enlarging certain small blood vessels so that blood flows through them more easily. This helps to decrease the blood pressure. It also stimulates microcirculation around the hair follicles, thereby encouraging conditions conducive to hair growth.
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Lonitab 2.5 Tablet may be taken with or without food.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
If you miss a dose of Lonitab 2.5 Tablet, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Taking more Lonitab than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
Most side effects of Lonitab are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every medicine you take, including over-the-counter products, vitamins and herbal or ayurvedic preparations, before starting Lonitab. Some combinations can change how Lonitab works or raise the chance of side effects.
Store Lonitab below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the pack tightly closed and out of the reach of children. Do not use it after the expiry date printed on the pack.
Follow your doctor’s dosage instructions carefully for both blood pressure control and hair growth. Do not skip doses or stop abruptly. If using Lonitab 2.5 Tablet for hair loss, results may take 3 to 6 months to appear, so consistent, long-term use is important. Lonitab 2.5 Tablet may increase your heart rate, so monitor your pulse regularly, especially if you have heart conditions. Make sure to attend follow-up appointments to monitor blood pressure and overall health while on Lonitab 2.5 Tablet. Stopping Lonitab 2.5 Tablet suddenly can cause a dangerous rise in blood pressure, so always taper off under your doctor’s guidance if needed.
