About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Minfin F 5% Lotion is a topical solution containing a fixed combination of minoxidil 5% and finasteride 1%, specifically designed for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and male pattern baldness. The lotion is applied topically to the scalp and hairline, where it targets the underlying causes of hair loss. Minoxidil, a vasodilator, promotes blood flow to the scalp, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles. Finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, slows down the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen implicated in hair loss. By addressing both the vascular and hormonal aspects of androgenetic alopecia, Minfin F 5% Lotion helps to restore a healthy hair growth pattern. The lotion is gentle on the skin, non-comedogenic, and fragrance-free, making it suitable for daily use. Its unique combination of ingredients provides a comprehensive treatment approach for men experiencing pattern baldness, with potential benefits including increased hair density, thickness, and overall hair growth.

About Minoxidil
Minoxidil is a vasodilator used to treat hypertension. It works by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow, and lowering blood pressure. Minoxidil is effective in managing high blood pressure and is sometimes used in combination with other antihypertensive medications. In summary, Minoxidil is beneficial for treating hypertension.
How It Works
Minoxidil opens potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation and reduced peripheral resistance.
All Active Ingredients
Finasteride
Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth and hair loss.
