How does the active ingredient of the medicine work?
The active ingredient lowers high blood pressure by dilating the blood vessels and thus reducing the resistance of the blood vessels.
When the active ingredient was used, increased hair growth was initially observed as an undesirable effect. This effect is now being utilised therapeutically. However, the mechanism of action responsible for this has not yet been clarified.
Effectiveness in the temple area (receding hairline) has not been proven.
