Minoxidil + Finasteride

Minoxidil + Finasteride is a combination medicine used to treat male pattern baldness and promote hair regrowth. Minoxidil is a vasodilator that improves blood circulation to hair follicles, while Finasteride prevents hair loss by reducing the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles. This combination is widely used for improving hair density and preventing further hair thinning. Regular use can lead to visible hair regrowth and improved scalp coverage.

How Minoxidil + Finasteride Works

Minoxidil increases blood flow to hair follicles, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen for hair growth. Finasteride blocks the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair follicle shrinkage. This combination helps slow hair loss and stimulates new hair growth.
