RX Topical Spray Minoxidil 5% & Dutasteride 0.1%

Dutasteride 0.1%: Like Finasteride, Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. However, in patients where Finasteride has been ineffective Dutasteride may be a great alternative. There are 2 pathways that lead to the formation of DHT; Finasteride Blocks one, and Dutasteride blocks both, making it a lot more potent.

DHT is the hormone which is responsible for causing hair loss in males. This is because it causes hair follicles to shrink so hair grows thinner, is weaker, and falls out more quickly. Eventually, the hair is not strong enough to break the surface of the scalp, leading to complete baldness. As Dutasteride blocks the enzyme 5α-Reductase, less DHT is produced. This allows hair to regrow from the follicles that were previously affected as a result of DHT, as well as preventing further hair loss, resulting in a fuller, denser head of hair. Dutasteride has been shown to be effective in
regrowing hair in a matter of months.

Minoxidil 5%: Topical Minoxidil solution 5% is clinically proven to stimulate new hair growth and helps stop the loss of hair in individuals suffering from androgenetic alopecia (AGA). 5% Minoxidil is a lab-formulated topical liquid which is proven to promote hair regrowth. This formula helps with reversing the shrinkage of hair follicles (androgenetic alopecia) and extends each follicle's growth phase. Reversing the miniaturisation (thinning/ shrinkage) of follicles by:

- Increasing blood flow to hair follicles providing them with the vital nutrients
- Stimulates follicle growth by activating the follicular growth cycle
- Keeps hair in the growth phase for longer allowing hair follicles to thicken to their maximal capacity

It usually takes months or years for you to lose hair to androgenetic alopecia, so it can take several weeks to reverse. 8/10 men will see results within 12-16 weeks. In the rare instance, that the results are not as desirable as you want, we can increase the % or add other active ingredients after you’ve completed your consultation. The best results from continued use of your recommended treatment are seen after 4-6 months. Subscribing to your medication is the best way to ensure you never run out of the medication and have the consistency needed to see amazing results.

As with many medicated products, there are always reported side effects, but in our case, these are extremely rare. The beauty of our topical treatments is that the application of the product is limited to the scalp (just where we need it!). This means we can cleverly avoid any systemic risks of decreased libido or erectile dysfunction which can occur more frequently when taking Dutasteride in tablet form. Applying the active ingredients directly onto the scalp means that very little can get into the systemic circulation and whole-body side effects should be rare.

That being said, in rare cases the following side effects may be observed: They can include breast enlargement/tenderness; decreased libido; problems ejaculating; erectile dysfunction. Some very uncommon side effects include heart problems; swollen ankles; shortness in breath; extreme fatigue. Some extremely rare side effects include testicular swelling or tenderness; depression. Some patients may also experience an allergic reaction to the medication this includes: respiratory depression; edema of legs lips face tongue legs and feet; skin reactions such as rash or hives. If you are having treatment of the following you should consult your doctor before starting the medication: Antidepressant medication Antifungal therapy Alpha blocker treatment Blood pressure medication
