Medicine information
Uses & overview
MINOXIHAIR F 10% by Steris Healthcare combines a double-strength vasodilator with a targeted 5-alpha reductase inhibitor: Minoxidil (10%) and Finasteride (0.1%). Designed for adult men experiencing progressive or non-responsive hair thinning, this powerful topical solution addresses the root causes of genetic hair loss—combating hormonal miniaturization of follicles while maximizing scalp microcirculation. Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits: Minoxidil (10% w/v): A high-potency potassium channel opener and peripheral vasodilator. It stimulates hair follicle vascularization, enlarges miniaturized hair roots, and extends the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Finasteride (0.1% w/v): A selective type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. Applied topically, it inhibits the local conversion of testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—the primary hormone responsible for hair follicle shrinkage and male pattern baldness—without significantly suppressing systemic DHT levels. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: High-Potency Regrowth Synergy: Combines follicular vasodilation with hormone-blocking action to arrest severe hair fall and stimulate stubborn, thinning areas. Targeted DHT Suppression: Directly lowers scalp DHT concentrations at the hair root level, preventing further miniaturization of terminal hair follicles. Restores Hair Density: Promotes the transition of fine vellus hair into thick, pigmented terminal hair strands, restoring density across the crown, vertex, and hairline. Targeted Topical Precision: Concentrates active ingredients directly on the scalp, providing robust local efficacy with a reduced risk of systemic side effects compared to oral Finasteride.
How to use

Apply 1 mL of MINOXIHAIR F 10% directly onto the affected scalp areas twice daily (morning and night) using the calibrated dropper or spray applicator, or strictly as prescribed by your dermatologist. Gently spread the solution with fingertips. Wash hands thoroughly with soap immediately after use. Allow the solution to dry for at least 2–4 hours before washing hair, applying other hair products, or wearing hats.
