Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Minoxidil+Finasteride+Absolute Alcohol contains a combination of minoxidil and finasteride as active ingredients.
- Minoxidil stimulates the hair to enter the growing phase. It also widens the blood vessels on the scalp which increases blood circulation to hair follicles. This promotes follicle size increase which helps hair growth.
- Finasteride works by reducing the production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In males with a hereditary or premature risk for baldness, this hormone DHT is believed to bind to hair follicles and cause them to shrink, resulting in hair loss.

- Inform your doctor if you are taking medicines for high blood pressure as a combined effect of both medicines may cause a slight fall in blood pressure, especially while standing (orthostatic hypotension).
