Lonitab 2.5 mg Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.

Lonitab 2.5 mg Tablet contains Minoxidil, a potassium channel opener. It dilates (widens) the blood vessels to promote blood flow, thus reducing high blood pressure.

Common side effects of Lonitab 2.5 mg Tablet include dizziness, breast pain/tenderness, increased heartbeat, fluid retention (oedema), nausea, and vomiting.
