Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Minoxidil is at least 90% absorbed from the GI tract in experimental animals and man.
▧ Protein binding :
Minoxidil does not bind to plasma proteins.
▧ Metabolism :
Approximately 90% of the administered drug is metabolized, predominantly by conjugation with glucuronic acid at the N-oxide position in the pyrimidine ring, but also by conversion to more polar products. Known metabolites exert much less pharmacologic effect than minoxidil itself.
