The medicine contains the active substance finasteride. It is applied to the bald areas of the scalp using a spray applicator consisting of a bottle with a pump and a cone.
The drug is used to treat mild to moderate hair loss in men (so-called androgenetic alopecia). The drug promotes hair growth on the scalp and prevents further hair loss in a male pattern. It is intended only for men aged 18 to 41 years.
Male pattern baldness is common and is believed to be caused by the interaction of genetic factors and the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In androgenetic alopecia, the scalp with baldness contains increased amounts of DHT. This hormone is believed to contribute to a shortening of the hair growth period and thinning of the hair. Hair follicles become smaller (become miniature), and hair loss occurs in the forehead and back of the head. This medicine reduces the concentration of DHT in the scalp. This helps to reverse baldness, promotes hair growth and prevents further hair loss.
