Proscalpin is a topical treatment containing the active ingredient finasteride, formulated specifically for the management of male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). It represents a targeted therapeutic approach, inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) at the follicular level. By addressing the primary hormonal driver of hair miniaturization, Proscalpin helps to halt progression and promote the regrowth of terminal hairs in affected individuals. This product is intended for use in adult men and requires consistent application for optimal clinical outcomes.
Features
- Contains 0.1% w/w finasteride as the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
- Formulated in a topical solution for direct application to the scalp.
- Utilizes a penetration-enhancing vehicle to ensure effective follicular delivery.
- Prescription-only medication, ensuring use under appropriate medical supervision.
- Supplied in multi-dose containers with graduated applicators for precise dosing.
Benefits
- Targets the Root Cause: Directly inhibits 5-alpha-reductase Type II in the scalp, reducing local DHT concentrations that contribute to follicular miniaturization.
- Promotes Hair Regrowth: Clinical studies demonstrate a significant increase in hair count in the vertex and anterior mid-scalp areas after sustained use.
- Halts Progression of Hair Loss: Effectively stabilizes the condition by preventing further follicular damage from DHT, preserving existing hair.
- Convenient Topical Application: Minimizes potential for systemic exposure compared to oral formulations, offering a localized treatment option.
- Evidence-Based Efficacy: Supported by robust clinical trial data confirming its safety and effectiveness for male pattern hair loss.
Common use
Proscalpin is indicated for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in men aged 18 to 41. It is applied topically to the scalp to stimulate hair regrowth and prevent further hair loss. Treatment response is typically evaluated after a minimum of 3 months of daily use, with maximal effects often observed after 12 months or more of continuous therapy. It is not indicated for use by women or children.
Dosage and direction
The recommended dosage is 1 mL of Proscalpin solution applied twice daily to the affected areas of the scalp (typically the vertex and anterior mid-scalp). The solution should be applied to a dry scalp using the provided applicator. Hands should be washed thoroughly after application. The product is for external use only; contact with eyes, mucous membranes, or broken skin should be avoided. Dosage should not exceed 2 mL per day. Consistency of application is critical for therapeutic efficacy.
Precautions
- This medication is for external use on the scalp only. It is not for ophthalmic, oral, or intravaginal use.
- Avoid application by women who are or may potentially be pregnant due to the risk of absorption and potential risk to a male fetus.
- Wash hands immediately after application to prevent accidental transfer to other parts of the body or other individuals.
- Discontinue use and consult a physician if skin irritation or rash develops and persists.
- Patients should have a confirmed diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia before initiating treatment.
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to finasteride, other 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, or any of the excipients in the formulation.
- Use in women, particularly those who are pregnant, attempting to conceive, or of childbearing potential.
- Use in pediatric patients.
Possible side effect
As with all medications, side effects are possible. The most common side effects are local to the application site and may include:
- Scalp pruritus (itching)
- Contact dermatitis
- Skin erythema (redness)
- Dryness or flaking of the scalp Less commonly, systemic absorption may occur, potentially leading to side effects associated with oral finasteride, though the risk is significantly lower. These can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. These are typically reversible upon discontinuation of therapy.
Drug interaction
Formal drug interaction studies have not been conducted with topical finasteride. However, theoretically, concomitant use with other 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g., oral finasteride, dutasteride) is not recommended due to a potential additive effect on DHT suppression. Caution is advised when using other topical agents on the same area of the scalp to avoid potential interactions or increased local irritation.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, it should be applied as soon as remembered. However, if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, the missed dose should be skipped and the regular dosing schedule resumed. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Overdose
Topical overdose is unlikely to lead to life-threatening systemic effects. Excessive application may increase the risk of systemic absorption and associated adverse effects (e.g., related to sexual function) or severe local skin reactions. In case of suspected overdose, the medication should be washed off the scalp and a healthcare professional should be contacted. Treatment is supportive and symptomatic.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15°C to 30°C). Keep the container tightly closed and stored in the original outer carton to protect from light. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not freeze. Discard any unused product 30 days after first opening the bottle.
