Product category: Hair Care · Prescription medicine information & enquiries
Ingredient: Minoxidil 5 mg
Form: Oral tablet
Prescription status: Prescription medicine
Anasure 5 is listed as an oral minoxidil tablet. Oral minoxidil was developed as a powerful vasodilating medicine for severe refractory hypertension. Dermatologists sometimes prescribe low-dose oral minoxidil off-label for selected hair-loss patients, but its use for hair loss is not an FDA-approved indication and should not be confused with topical minoxidil. The 5 mg tablet strength is not a recommended hair-loss dose.
Minoxidil relaxes blood vessels and can lower blood pressure. Increased hair growth is a known effect, which led to research and off-label dermatology use. A clinician must distinguish pattern hair loss from other causes before deciding on treatment.
Oral minoxidil carries an FDA boxed warning for serious cardiovascular effects including pericardial effusion, potentially progressing to cardiac tamponade, and worsening angina. Fluid retention, swelling, fast heartbeat, dizziness and low blood pressure can occur. Medical supervision and appropriate monitoring are essential. Do not initiate oral minoxidil or select a tablet strength from website information.
Unwanted facial or body hair, fluid retention, palpitations, headache and lightheadedness may occur. Seek urgent care for chest pain, fainting, breathing difficulty or marked swelling. Pregnancy, heart or kidney disease and concurrent blood-pressure medicines require particularly careful clinical evaluation.
Oral and topical minoxidil are not directly interchangeable. See minoxidil 5% topical solution for comparison. Confirm any product link and pack composition before choosing a treatment.
DailyMed: oral minoxidil boxed warnings and full prescribing information

Yes. It is a potent vasodilator originally indicated for severe refractory hypertension. Fainting or lightheadedness should prompt medical review.
Chest pain, trouble breathing, severe dizziness, fainting or marked swelling require urgent assessment because serious cardiovascular reactions are possible.
Specialists sometimes prescribe it off-label to selected patients, but pregnancy status, cardiovascular risks and other factors require individual evaluation.
Any hair-growth effect may fade over time. Do not abruptly change a medicine prescribed for blood-pressure control without medical advice.
A dermatologist may assess combinations in selected cases; they have different risks and should never be combined solely on the basis of online product information.
No. Dermatologists may use it off-label after an individualized assessment.
A product’s tablet strength is not a dosing recommendation. A clinician must evaluate risk and determine whether any oral minoxidil treatment is appropriate.
No. Oral minoxidil has systemic cardiovascular effects and requires medical supervision.
