GlossaryTopical Dutasteride

Topical Dutasteride is a formulation of the 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor Dutasteride, applied directly to the scalp to treat androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss). It works by reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair follicle miniaturization and hair loss. The topical application aims to minimize systemic side effects associated with oral administration while delivering the active ingredient directly to the hair follicles. Key distinguishing characteristics include its dual inhibition of both type I and type II 5-alpha-reductase enzymes, making it potentially more effective than other treatments that target only one type.
