Generic rogaine

Dutasteride Dutasteride, like finasteride, inhibits the action of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase and hence blocks the production of DHT. However, there are in fact two forms of 5-alpha reductase and whereas finasteride only inhibits one type, dutasteride inhibits both types. At the time of writing Dutasteride is to be used for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). However, there is much speculation that this substance would be a very effective treatment for hair loss and it is hoped by many that clinical trials specifically related to hair loss will be concluded. Like finasteride, it would be a male only treatment and, because of the nature of its action, could give rise to side effects such as loss of sexual appetite in certain individuals.

Minoxidil was the first ‘main stream’ medication for hair loss and has proven an enormous help for many. It was originally developed as an anti-hypertensive i.e. it lowers blood pressure. It was taken for blood pressure in tablet form known as Loniten. As a side effect however, certain patients reported increase in hair growth. The pharmaceutical company who had developed minoxidil then conducted clinical trials using a topical lotion and from those trials minoxidil 2% (known as Regaine) was produced as a treatment for hair loss.

Oral finasteride is prescribed in tablet form – the correct dosage for the treatment of hair loss being 1mg per day. Some specialists suggest that finasteride applied in solution as a topical liquid, either on its own or in conjunction with minoxidil, can have a beneficial effect in reducing DHT levels in the scalp and hence slowing hair loss.
