Minoxidil Sulfate CAS:83701-22-8 Manufacturer Supplier

Minoxidil sulfate was the drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (hair loss). Its effectiveness has largely been demonstrated in younger men (18 to 41 years of age), the younger the better, and in those with balding in the central (vertex) portion of the scalp. The water solubility characteristics of minoxidil sulfate increases the absorption. Minoxidil sulfate (MXS) has been used as a drug agent to study its effects on alopecia in corticotropin-releasing factor over-expressing (CRF-OE) mice. It has also been used as a positive control in an assay for the culturing of rat vibrissa follicles.
