About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Minscalp-F 10% Solution is a topical solution combining the active ingredients minoxidil (10% w/v) and finasteride (0.1% w/v) in a water-based vehicle. Minoxidil is a vasodilator that promotes hair growth and slows down hair loss by increasing blood flow to the scalp. Finasteride, a type II 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, reduces the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to androgenetic alopecia. The solution is intended for the treatment of male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, characterized by hair loss on the vertex and mid-scalp areas. Minscalp-F 10% Solution is applied topically to the affected area once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition, and should be used in conjunction with a shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for use with this product. As with any medication, it is essential to follow the instructions provided and to consult a healthcare professional if the patient experiences any adverse reactions or has questions regarding the use of this product.

About Finasteride
Finasteride is a member of the 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors class, primarily used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern hair loss. BPH is a common condition characterized by the enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to urinary difficulties. By blocking the action of androgens, Finasteride reduces prostate size and alleviates associated symptoms. Additionally, it is effective in treating male pattern baldness by preventing hair loss. Clinical relevance lies in its ability to improve urinary flow and reduce the need for surgical intervention in BPH patients. In summary, Finasteride helps manage prostate enlargement and hair loss in men.
How It Works
Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth and hair loss.
