About Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel

Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel is used to treat alopecia (hair loss). It stimulates hair growth and slows down the process of balding. Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel is used to promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss). Androgenetic alopecia is the permanent hair loss from the scalp that causes baldness.

Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel contains Minoxidil and Finasteride. Minoxidil widens the blood vessels and helps provide oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the hair follicles. Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone (male hormone) levels, thereby preventing thinning of hair follicles.

Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel may cause side effects like unwanted non-scalp hair growth, headache, skin irritation, itching, and dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin). If any of these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

Do not use Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel if you are allergic to any of its components. Do not apply Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel on shaved, inflamed, infected, irritated or painful scalp skin. Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel is intended for use by men only and must not be used by women, particularly during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Uses of Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel

Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel is used in the treatment of hair loss in men. The detailed uses of Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel are as follows:
• Treatment of androgenetic alopecia: Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel reduces hair loss and stimulates new hair growth in male pattern baldness.
• Promotes hair regrowth: Minoxidil promotes hair regrowth by widening blood vessels and improving blood flow to hair follicles.
• Reduces scalp DHT levels: Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone (DHT) locally, a significant factor in hair follicle atrophy and hair loss.
• Improves hair density: Regular use may result in more and thicker hair strands on the scalp.
• Maintains existing hair: Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel preserves present hair follicles, preventing further thinning.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
  • Apply the advised amount of Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel on the affected areas of the scalp. Gently massage the medicine into the skin with your fingers. Wash your hands after applying.
  • It is only for external use. Avoid contact of Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel with the nose, mouth, or eyes. If it comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel is a combination medication containing Minoxidil (a vasodilator) and Finasteride (a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor), used for the treatment of alopecia (hair loss).
  • It stimulates hair growth by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, providing essential oxygen and nutrients that promote healthy hair growth and prevent follicle death.
  • Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel prevents hair thinning by lowering levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles, thereby reducing hair thinning and slowing the progression of androgenetic alopecia.
  • It improves hair density, enhances hair volume, thickness, and scalp coverage over time.
  • Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel helps maintain existing hair and delays further balding.

How Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel Works

Fin-XL 5% Pro Gel consists of two medicines, namely Minoxidil (vasodilator) and Finasteride (5-alpha-reductase inhibitor). Minoxidil is a vasodilator that widens the blood vessels and opens potassium channels. This vasodilation process helps provide oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the hair follicles, thereby preventing hair cell death and promoting new hair growth. Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It reduces dihydrotestosterone (male hormone) levels, thereby preventing thinning of hair follicles in people with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss).
