How finasteride (topical) + minoxidil topical works

This is a combination of two medicines: Finasteride (topical) and Minoxidil Topical which treat hair loss. Finasteride (topical) is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth, thereby reversing the balding process and preventing further hair loss. Minoxidil Topical is a vasodilator, meaning it widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. This prevents hair loss and stimulates re-growth resulting in longer, thicker and increased numbers of hair.
