Hair Loss Treatment Minoxidil Powder API CAS 38304-91-5
Wholesale API Hair Loss Treatment Minoxidil Powder
Minoxidil powder is a key ingredient widely used in hair regrowth treatments. It is commonly employed to promote hair growth and to treat conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) in both men and women. As a pharmaceutical-grade compound, Minoxidil has been clinically proven to stimulate hair follicles, increase blood flow to the scalp, and promote the growth of new hair.
In its powdered form, Minoxidil offers the advantage of easier handling and accurate dosing. It is typically dissolved in a liquid base to create topical solutions, foams, or creams that are directly applied to the scalp. When used as part of a hair restoration regimen, Minoxidil helps to strengthen existing hair and can encourage the development of new hair follicles, leading to thicker and fuller hair over time.
Minoxidil powder is also used in research and formulation development, allowing scientists to explore its potential in treating different hair loss conditions. It is a versatile ingredient, frequently found in both over-the-counter products and prescription treatments for hair regrowth. Its proven effectiveness and accessibility make Minoxidil powder a go-to option for both consumers and medical professionals in the pursuit of hair restoration solutions.

Function
It can be used for refractory hypertension and renal hypertension, with antihypertensive effects stronger than hydralazine. Its mechanism involves K+ channel opening, affecting vascular smooth muscle. As a vasodilator antihypertensive drug, it does not cause orthostatic hypotension and maintains long-term efficacy.
Minoxidil was the first drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (hair loss). Before that, minoxidil had been used as a vasodilator drug prescribed as oral tablet to treat high blood pressure that included hair growth and reversal of male baldness.
Dosage of Minoxidil Powder
Minoxidil powder is typically used for topical application to treat hair loss. The recommended dosage can vary based on factors such as the concentration of the solution you are preparing and individual needs.
Standard Minoxidil Solution (5%)
- For men: Apply 1 mL (approximately 20 drops) of 5% minoxidil solution twice daily to the scalp in the hair loss area.
- For women: The recommended dosage may vary, but typically it's also applied twice daily in smaller amounts, often 1 mL total per day.
Minoxidil Powder Preparation
- If you have minoxidil powder and want to prepare a solution, you need to dissolve it in a solvent like alcohol (ethanol) or propylene glycol to achieve the desired concentration.
- Common concentrations for homemade solutions are around 2-5%, depending on the intended use and recommendations from a healthcare provider.
Dosage with Minoxidil Powder
The amount of powder needed depends on the concentration you want to achieve and the volume of solution you're preparing. It's crucial to follow precise instructions when handling minoxidil powder, as incorrect measurements or concentrations could lead to ineffective treatment or adverse effects.
Consultation with Healthcare Provider
It's highly recommended to consult a healthcare provider or a dermatologist before using minoxidil powder. They can provide guidance on the appropriate concentration and dosage based on your specific condition and needs.
Application
Once you have prepared the solution, apply it directly to the scalp in the affected areas as instructed. Do not exceed the recommended dosage, as more is not necessarily better and could increase the risk of side effects. Always follow the specific instructions provided with your minoxidil powder, and if in doubt, seek professional medical advice.
