MINOXIHEAD-D TABLET combines Minoxidil, a hair follicle stimulant, with Dutasteride, a dual 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that lowers dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels. Minoxidil enhances blood circulation to hair follicles, improving nutrient and oxygen delivery, while Dutasteride reduces DHT, a key hormone involved in androgenetic alopecia. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to managing hair loss by supporting hair follicle health and encouraging sustained hair growth. The oral tablet offers convenient once-daily dosing as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Mechanism of Action
MINOXIHEAD-D TABLET works through two complementary mechanisms. Dutasteride inhibits both Type I and Type II 5-alpha reductase enzymes, significantly reducing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which contributes to hair follicle shrinkage. Minoxidil improves blood flow to hair follicles, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery while prolonging the hair growth (anagen) phase. Together, these actions help maintain healthier follicles, slow hair thinning, and promote stronger hair growth.

Under specialist supervision, MINOXIHEAD-D TABLET may also be considered for:
Advanced androgenetic alopecia requiring combination therapy.
Long-term maintenance following hair restoration procedures.
