WHAT FINASTERIDE GH 1 IS
USED FOR
Finasteride GH 1 is for use by
men only.
Finasteride GH 1 is used to treat
men with male pattern hair loss
to increase hair growth on the
scalp and to prevent further hair
loss.
Male pattern hair loss (also
known as androgenetic
alopecia) is a common condition
in which men experience
thinning of the hair on the scalp.
This often results in a receding
hair line and/or balding on the
top of the head. These changes
typically start to occur in some
men in their 20s and become
more common with age. Once
hair loss has occurred over a
long period of time, the hair may
be permanently lost.
Male pattern hair loss is thought
to be caused by a combination
of family history (heredity) and
production of a particular male
hormone, called
dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Men
with male pattern hair loss have
more DHT in the balding part of
their scalp than in other parts,
resulting in increased hair loss.
_HOW FINASTERIDE GH 1 _
_WORKS _
Finasteride GH 1 specifically
lowers the levels of DHT in the
scalp, thus helping to reverse
the balding process.
Finasteride GH 1 does not affect
hair on other parts of the body.
Men with mild to moderate, but
not complete, hair loss can
expect to benefit from the use of
Finasteride GH 1.
In women who were studied,
Finasteride GH 1 was not
effective in the treatment of hair
loss (androgenetic alopecia).
There should be no need to
change your usual hair care
routine (for example
