MINOXIHAIR F 5%: Comprehensive Guide to Minoxidil & Finasteride Topical Solution.

Product Overview

MINOXIHAIR F 5% is a lipid-based topical solution combining two scientifically backed agents for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness):

• Minoxidil: A potent vasodilator that promotes hair regrowth by stimulating hair follicles.

• Finasteride: A 5α-reductase inhibitor that reduces scalp dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the primary hormone responsible for hair loss.

This unique combination provides dual-action therapy that targets both vascular and hormonal factors contributing to hair loss.

Composition

• Minoxidil – 5% w/v

• Finasteride – 0.1% w/v

• Base – Lipid solution for enhanced scalp absorption

Indications & Uses

• Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness)

• Early-Stage Hair Thinning

• Frontal and Vertex Hair Loss in Men

Note: Not indicated for use in women.

Mechanism of Action

Minoxidil: Increases blood flow to the hair follicles, prolongs the anagen (growth) phase, and enlarges miniaturized follicles, leading to thicker hair strands.

Finasteride: Inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), thereby reducing miniaturization of hair follicles and preventing further hair loss.

Together, they work synergistically to:

• Stimulate dormant follicles

• Prevent hair thinning

• Reduce hair fall

• Encourage visible hair regrowth

Dosage & Administration

• Apply 1 mL of MINOXIHAIR F 5% twice daily on the dry scalp in the affected area.

• Gently spread the solution using fingertips.

• Wash hands thoroughly after application.

• Continued use for at least 3 to 6 months is recommended for noticeable results.
