Oral finasteride combined with minoxidil is a dual approach to treating hair loss.
Finasteride works by inhibiting the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair follicle shrinkage and hair loss. Minoxidil, on the other hand, improves blood flow to the hair follicles, stimulating hair growth.
Together, these medications can effectively slow hair loss and promote new hair growth.
