Minoxidil 5% & Finasteride 0.1% Solution

About Minoxidil 5% & Finasteride 0.1% Solution

Description

This solution combines two clinically proven ingredients Minoxidil and Finasteride to treat androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and hair thinning.

Active Ingredients & Their Functions:

• Minoxidil 5
  A topical vasodilator that stimulates hair follicles by increasing blood flow to the scalp. It prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, helping to regrow hair and slow hair loss.

• Finasteride 0.1% (Topical):
  A 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and leads to hair loss. Topical Finasteride helps reduce scalp DHT levels with lower systemic absorption than oral Finasteride.
