Hair Loss
Finasteride and minoxidil are the two established ingredients for pattern hair loss in this range, found in tablets like Propecia and topical treatments like Mintop Solution and Morr F.
Mintop Solution
2% 60ml · 5% 60ml
Minoxidil topical solution for hereditary hair loss. It lengthens the growing phase of hair follicles, which can slow thinning.
Nizoral Shampoo
200ml 1%
Ketoconazole shampoo for dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It targets the yeast that causes flaking and reduces scalp oil production.
Key points
- Finasteride and minoxidil are the principal medicines used for male pattern hair loss.
- Finasteride is also used for benign prostate enlargement at a different strength, so checking product strength and identity matters.
- Avodart (dutasteride) is listed here for benign prostatic hyperplasia, not androgenetic alopecia.
- Nizoral Shampoo (ketoconazole) is listed for seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff of the scalp, not hair loss.
Propecia, Mintop Solution and Morr F for androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride is the ingredient in Propecia, and minoxidil is in Mintop Solution, both listed for androgenetic alopecia. Morr F combines both ingredients in a single spray, also listed for the same condition.
Avodart and Nizoral Shampoo in this range
Dutasteride, the ingredient in Avodart, is listed here for benign prostatic hyperplasia rather than hair loss. Nizoral Shampoo contains ketoconazole and is listed for seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff of the scalp, not androgenetic alopecia. Both remain part of this range alongside the alopecia medicines above.
