Introduction:
- Mechanism of action:
Mesologica® Dutasteride is a drug that reduces the action of androgens on the follicle. These androgens are responsible for androgenic alopecia. That is, it inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for transforming testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is what damages the follicles and triggers alopecia. It thickens the follicular units and slows down hair loss. It acts similarly to finasteride.
- B. Clinical study results:
Long-term research also revealed dutasteride to be safe and effective. A six-month phase III trial of AGA patients receiving 0.5 mg/day of dutasteride revealed tolerance and an improvement in hair growth. Recent research showed that using dutasteride for more than 6 years increased total,
terminal and vellus hair counts in male AGA patients.
Advantages of Dutasteride:
- Dutasteride stops the production of DHT by over 90%, which helps to prevent, slow down and even reverse hair loss in people with male pattern baldness.
Origin:
Made in Spain.
