Loniten is an oral medication available in tablet form, to be taken by mouth with or without food as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage is typically once or twice a day and is based on your medical condition and response to treatment, with children’s doses also based on weight. Your doctor may initiate treatment with a low dose and gradually increase it.
Take Loniten and any other blood pressure medication regularly to get the most benefit from them. If needed, set reminders to take them at the same time each day. It is possible to have high blood pressure without symptoms. So, do not discontinue taking the medication even if you feel well.
The initial dose of minoxidil for adults is 5 mg divided into two doses of 2.5 mg each day. However, if the desired blood pressure is not attained, the doctor may increase the dose to 10 mg daily after 3 days, 20 mg daily after an additional 3 days, and 40 mg daily after a further 3 days. The prescribed dosage for children under 12 years old is based on their weight, with the recommended daily dose set to 0.2 mg per kilogram, split into two equal doses, and determined by the doctor.
