Loniten, which is the brand name for minoxidil when used as an oral medication, carries a black box warning due to its potential to cause serious cardiovascular effects. It can lead to severe hypotension (low blood pressure) and fluid retention, which may result in congestive heart failure. Therefore, it is typically prescribed only when other antihypertensive treatments are ineffective, and it should be used under strict medical supervision, often with a diuretic and a beta-blocker to mitigate these risks.
