Folligro 2.5mg Tablet contains Minoxidil, a vasodilator that is used off-label in low doses for the treatment of hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). It helps stimulate hair growth and slow down hair thinning.

Unlike topical solutions, oral minoxidil works systemically by improving blood flow to hair follicles, promoting stronger and thicker hair growth. It is usually prescribed when topical treatments are not effective.

Folligro is used under medical supervision for hair regrowth in both men and women.
