Product introduction

Hairz 2.5 Tablet is a vasodilator primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and, in some cases, hair loss. It relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. In hair loss, it stimulates hair growth by improving blood flow to the hair follicles.

Take it in the exact dose and duration for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Do not stop taking the medicine until you have finished the complete course. The effects are lost if the medication is stopped.


Hairz 2.5 Tablet may be taken with or without food. Take it in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. If used for hypertension, it may be used alongside other blood pressure medicines. It may take several months to see noticeable results, particularly for hair growth.  Take it regularly and for as long as the doctor has prescribed for maximum benefits.


Common side effects of this medicine include increased heart rate, palpitations, low blood pressure, and dizziness. These usually resolve over time, but if they persist or worsen, contact your doctor. When used for hair loss, some users experience temporary hair shedding during the initial stages. This is normal and usually resolves as new hair growth begins.


When used for hair loss, avoid using additional hair treatments without consulting your doctor, as combining products may cause irritation or interfere with its effectiveness. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, and people with heart conditions or kidney problems, should inform their doctor before starting Hairz 2.5 Tablet, as it may not be suitable for them.


Benefits of Hairz Tablet

In Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Hairz 2.5 Tablet helps lower blood pressure by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, reducing peripheral vascular resistance. It is particularly useful in certain cases of resistant hypertension when other antihypertensive medications do not work or are contraindicated.

In Treatment of Hair loss

Hairz 2.5 Tablet is used to treat hair loss, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness). It works by increasing blood flow to hair follicles, promoting hair growth, thickening existing hair, and helping to prevent further hair loss. While results may take several months to become noticeable, regular use can lead to stronger, healthier hair over time.

Side effects of Hairz Tablet

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Hairz

  • Increased heart rate
  • Palpitations
  • Hypotension (low blood pressure)
  • Dizziness

How to use Hairz Tablet

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Hairz 2.5 Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Hairz Tablet works

Hairz 2.5 Tablet belongs to the class of medicine known as potassium channel openers. It works by relaxing and enlarging certain small blood vessels so that blood flows through them more easily. This helps to decrease the blood pressure. It also stimulates microcirculation around the hair follicles, thereby encouraging conditions conducive to hair growth.

Hypertension is clinically high blood pressure. Persistent high arterial blood pressure above 120/80 mm HG is termed as pre-hypertension or hypertension, but the point to be emphasized is that this rise in blood pressure is persistent. Transient increase in BP occurs in stress and anxiety and needs to be treated accordingly.
