Active composition
+1 more active ingredient
Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth and hair loss.
Minoxidil opens potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation and reduced peripheral resistance.
Medical applications
Minscalp-F 5% Solution is a topical solution containing a combination of minoxidil 5% and finasteride 0.1% in a water-based solvent. This solution is indicated for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, a common condition characterized by progressive hair loss, typically affecting the scalp. The minoxidil component is a vasodilator that promotes hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp, whereas finasteride, an inhibitor of type II 5-alpha-reductase, prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss.
The combination of these agents helps to slow down hair loss and promote hair growth, resulting in an increase in hair density and thickness. The solution should be applied once daily to the affected area, and its efficacy has been demonstrated in several clinical trials. As with any medication, patients should follow the instructions for use and consult their physician if they experience any adverse reactions or have questions about the use of Minscalp-F 5% Solution.
