Besides Tricotain, the only proven treatments that help with hair loss are Minoxidil, Finasteride, or Dutasteride.

Minoxidil

Minoxidil is a medication commonly used to treat hair loss, including male and female pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia). It is available in topical formulations, typically as a liquid solution or foam, and is applied directly to the scalp.

Tricotain shampoo clears the scalp of inflammation, reduces oxidative stress, and allows topical solutions such as Minoxidil to penetrate the root of the hair follicle, making them much more effective than before.

Finasteride & Dutasteride

Finasteride and dutasteride are prescription medications used to treat hair loss, particularly male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). They belong to a class of drugs called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and work by targeting the hormonal factors that contribute to hair loss.

They can be effective in many cases of androgenic areata but typically require ongoing use to maintain their benefits, as discontinuing the medication may lead to a return of hair loss. As with any medication, there can be side effects, and individuals considering these treatments should discuss their options and potential risks with a healthcare provider.

While these medications work by blocking some of the 5-alpha reductase enzymes, they do not prevent the full spectrum of oxidative stress that takes place in the dermal papilla and hair follicle.

Tricotain neutralises the cellular damage caused by free radicals while ensuring that the scalp is healthy and in optimum condition for hair growth, allowing the topical versions of these potent medications to reach the target site at the root of the hair follicle.
