How does MINX Lite work?

MINX lite is oral minoxidil formulated in a lipid matrix designed to prolong release as the capsule is digested. The goal is more consistent minoxidil levels in the blood throughout the day, rather than the spike-and-crash pattern of standard oral minoxidil, giving the hair follicle a steadier supply to convert into its active form, minoxidil sulfate. In-vitro dissolution testing showed slower release versus an immediate-release comparator under the tested lab conditions.

What are the potential side effects of MINX Lite?

Oral minoxidil may cause an increased heart rate, irregular heartbeat, swelling in the hands or feet, weight gain, and hypertrichosis or hirsutism. Other potential effects include initial hair shedding dizziness, fluid retention, and low blood pressure.

Who should not use MINX Lite?

This formulation is suitable for both men and women. Women, particularly those who are pregnant or may become pregnant or are breast feeding, should avoid using this medication, as minoxidil could pose a risk to a developing fetus.

How do I use MINX Lite?

Take 1 capsule (2.5 mg) orally once a day with water, with a meal, preferably at the same time each day for consistency.

What is the FDA approval status of MINX Lite?

This compounded formulation is not FDA-approved for treating androgenetic alopecia, though it is customized based on emerging clinical research to meet individual patient needs.
