Loniten
® (
minoxidil oral) is available only by prescription and is used to help improve blood flow in adults, children, and infants who have severe
high blood pressure. This medication is not appropriate for everyone; your healthcare provider needs complete information on your medical history and what medications you are taking before prescribing Loniten.
Although many people do not have any problems while taking this medication, Loniten can cause side effects, such as
headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Fortunately, in most cases, side effects of this drug are minor and easy to treat.
Loniten comes in the form of a tablet and is typically taken once or twice daily. This medication is generally used in combination with other
blood pressure medicines. Loniten is only used when
blood pressure is so severe that it is uncontrolled with safer
blood pressure medications and is causing damage to vital organs.
