== Double action (Anti-androgen + Minoxidil) ==
* Combination of Minoxidil + Anti-androgen (double action) composition for effective treatment of Male-Pattern Baldness . '''What is the problem with using only Anti-androgen therapy?'''* Anti-androgen is not effective in addressing the issue of vasocontriction around hair follicles due to sebum oil build up.* Anti-androgen only prevent binding of DHT to androgen receptors. However, the effects of improper oxygen and nutrient supply to the brain due to vasocontriction still remains and gradually causes hair loss. '''What is the problem with using only Minoxidal therapy?'''* Minoxidil-based products are generally not effective in stopping hair loss as minoxidil does not block the harmful effects of DHT in the scalp and hair follicles. * Minoxidil simply dilates blood vessels in the scalp. However, the harmful DHT is still being produced in the body and still getting into the scalp and hair follicles and causing eventual hair loss. '''How is the combination of Anti-androgens and Minoxidil effective?'''* Anti-androgens target the problem of DHT binding to androgen receptors and prevents follicle miniaturization.* Minoxidil causes vasodilation and therefore improves supply of oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicle and roots.* Combination therapy therefore proves to be much more effective than individual therapy.
