Minoxidil is a potent vasodilator, commonly used in the treatment of various conditions such as hypertension, angina, and male pattern baldness.

This method of administration allows for a precise and controlled dosing, and facilitates a rapid absorption of the medication, providing efficient and targeted delivery for fast-acting effects. It also bypasses the digestive system, which can be beneficial in terms of bioavailability and speed of onset.
