What is dutasteride and minoxidil topical solution used for?
Dr. Ben Williams, dermatologist, says that the combined solution of topical dutasteride and minoxidil is used to treat androgenetic alopecia, also called male and female pattern baldness. This combination tackles hair loss and encourages regrowth through different mechanisms: dutasteride lowers dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels in the scalp to prevent hair follicle shrinkage, while minoxidil’s benefits occur through an unknown mechanism that may be explained through an increase in blood flow to hair follicles as well as extending the hair growth (anagen) phase.
Do minoxidil and dutasteride topical solutions work?
Yes, Dr. Williams says that the combination of topical dutasteride and minoxidil is regarded as a highly effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia. These two medications work together synergistically to combat hair loss from multiple angles.
Topical dutasteride: This medication inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase in the scalp, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a major factor in hair follicle miniaturization and hair loss. By locally reducing DHT levels, topical dutasteride helps prevent further shrinkage and loss of hair follicles.
Topical minoxidil: Minoxidil increases blood flow to hair follicles and extends the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. This enhanced circulation and prolonged growth phase stimulate hair regrowth and help thicken existing hair.
