MINOXIKEM-F ,Minoxidil5% and finasteride1% Tropical solution

💊 Finasteride: Blocking the Cause

Finasteride works by targeting the hormonal cause of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).

• Mechanism: It is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. This means it blocks the enzyme (5-alpha reductase) that converts testosterone into a more potent hormone called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
• Result: DHT is the main culprit that causes hair follicles to shrink (miniaturization) and eventually stop producing hair. By lowering the levels of DHT in the scalp, Finasteride helps stop hair loss and prevents the hair follicles from thinning further.

💧 Minoxidil: Stimulating Growth

Minoxidil (commonly known by the brand name Rogaine) works by directly stimulating hair growth and improving the hair growth cycle.

• Mechanism: It is a vasodilator, meaning it helps to widen the blood vessels in the scalp. This increased blood flow delivers more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the hair follicles.
• Result:
• It helps to rejuvenate the follicles, encouraging them to enter the active growth phase (anagen phase).
• It may help increase the size of the hair follicle and the diameter of the hair, making the hair appear thicker and fuller.

🤝 Combined Effect

When used together, they provide a powerful two-pronged attack:

1. Finasteride addresses the internal, hormonal trigger (DHT) that causes the hair loss.
2. Minoxidil promotes an ideal environment for new hair to grow by boosting blood flow and extending the growth phase.
