Hairloss
Hair loss is a very common and obsessing occurrence for the people who are concerned with it. Mainly, symptoms of increased hairloss develop with over 30 year old men and/ or woman. Many different reasons are enumerated to be the cause for the loss of hair. Certainly there are medications available to promote hair growth namely products such as Finasteride and Minoxidil. Both of these drugs are able to influence the hair-growth and the increase of length. Further they are capable of expanding the diameter of existing hair, although here the method of procedure differs. Beyond that either Finasteride as Minoxidil have been proven to own the ability of supporting the end of hair thinning and hair loss.
Causes for hair loss: Stress ,Nervous disorders ,Illness ,Major surgery ,Accouchement (due to hormone imbalance) ,Hormone Imbalance ,Drugs that include anticoagulants (blood thinners) ,Drugs used for gout, ,Drugs used in chemotherapy to treat cancer,Vitamin A (if overdosed),Birth control pills ,Certain antidepressants,Certain infections,Lupus ,Diabetes,Diets with to less amino acids ,X rays,Malnutrition,Endocrine disorders,Alopecia areata,Heredity Factors
Avodart (Dutasteride) usually is used to treat men with an enlarged prostate. An enlarged prostate is caused by producing too much of a hormone known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT). More details
Careprost are drops which contain the active ingredient bimatoprost. They are usually used to treat glaucoma by lowering the pressure within the eyeball. But next to this bimatoprost is a very efficiant product for the treatment of hypotrichosis, which is better known as short eyelashes occurence. Careprost (also known as Lumigan) helps this shortcoming by increasing the thickness, length and quantity of the eyelashes. The result: beautiful and long eyelashes. More details
Duprost (Dutasteride) is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate. Prostate growth is caused by a hormone in the blood called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). More details
Dutas commonly is used to reduce an enlarged prostate in men with a condition called benign nodular hyperplasia of prostate (BPH). The drug operates by lowering amounts of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). More details
The mechanism by which minoxidil promotes hair growth is not fully understood. Minoxidil is a potassium channel agonist. It contains the chemical structure of nitric oxide (NO), a blood vessel dilator, and may be a nitric oxide agonist. This appears to explain its vasodilatory effects, but may also be linked to minoxidil's ability to stimulate hair growth and treat hair loss. Since minoxidil is a nitric oxide-related compound, it was suspected to act via activation of guanylate cyclase, an enzyme involved in vasodilation, however there are no reports of cGMP or PKG activation to date.

Lumigan are eye drops contain the active ingredient bimatoprost. They are used to treat glaucoma by lowering the pressure within the eyeball. Further bimatoprost is a highly effective and more over not to forget the only proven method of treating hypotrichosis, short eyelashes occurrence. Lumigan helps this shortcoming by increasing the thickness, length and quantity of the eyelashes. The result: beautiful and long eyelashes. More details
Minoxidil was originally used as a treatment for high blood pressure. Researchers noticed however that their patients taking minoxidil experienced dramatic hair re-growth. The discovery led to the marketing of minoxidil as a topical solution specifically for the promotion of hair growth, halting or reversing hereditary hair loss in both men and women. Headway has been shown to be effective in promoting hair re-growth and in stabilising hair loss.

Ketoconazole belongs to a class of drugs called imidazole derivatives, normally used to treat fungal infections. It also inhibits key steps in the syntheses of mineral corticoids and glucocorticoids, the first step in cortisol synthesis, according to a report from Harvard Medical School. As an adrenal steroid inhibitor, it is recommended in the treatment of Cuhing syndrome. More details
Some types of hypercalciuria are vitamin D-dependent and, in those cases, drugs that suppress vitamin D can be useful in the diagnosis of the disease and in its treatment, according to experts at the Lorain Kidney Stone Research Center at the Medical College of Ohio. One such drug is ketoconazole, which is normally used as a broad-spectrum anti-fungal drug. However, since it interferes with the synthesis of vitamin D-3 by inhibiting a particular enzyme system, it has specific value in this type of hypercalciuria. More details
Minoxidil is made available by Regaine in three ways: foam, liquid (applied via a dropper) and a gel. All involve contact with hair strands, which may cause problems with hair styling since minoxidil must be in an alcohol solution. To keep the minoxidil solution from affecting normal hair styling applications, it can be washed out after at least 40 minutes, although this will decrease the hair regrowth effect. For maximum effect, the solution should be in contact with the scalp for four hours before being washed out. If the solution is not a problem, hair styling devices can be used as soon as the minoxidil solution has dried.

Ketoconazole can cause hypersensitivity. It should not be used by those who have fungal meningitis, nor by those who are using the drugs terfenadine, astemizole, or cisapride. Caution should be used if you are taking certain other drugs because it may increase or decrease their effects or their toxicity. More details
Veltride (Dutasteride) is designed by Intas Pharmaceuticals (India) to lower an enlarged prostate in men. The condition is also known as benign nodular hyperplasia of prostate (BPH). More details
Finast ® (Finasteride) is similar to Propecia, Proscar acts as an inhibitor of steroid 5-reductase, which appears to be the principal androgen responsible for stimulation of hair growth.
Finast ® (Finasteride) is a combination of cyproterone acetate (CPA) plus ethinylesteradiol (EE2) used in the treatment of hirsutism.

Fincar (Finasteride) is typically used in men to treat urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate but may be used to treat acne in women. It blocks an enzyme that is instrumental in converting testosterone to another hormone that causes the growth of the prostate. The prostate decreases as a result. This effect only lasts as long as treatment with finasteride continues. More details
Finpecia (Finasteride) is an inhibitor of the enzyme 5 reductase which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone More details
The Fistide (Finasteride) original uses:
Treatment of male pattern hair loss. Treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Fistide (Finasteride) Description : Inhibits 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. This effect markedly suppresses serum dihydrotestosterone levels. More details
Propecia (Finasteride) is use on the other hand, the administration of therapeutic doses of testosterone to hypogonadal adult males results in the loss of scalp hair (whereas there is no noticeable change in the scalp hair of normal men). The active androgen in the balding scalp appears to be dihydrotestosterone, which is produced from testosterone through the activity of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. More details
Proscar (Finasteride) is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme 5 reductase which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Thus resulting in decreased serum levels of DHT. More details
Prosmin (Finasteride) is designed for the use of men only. Prosmin (Finasteride) is used to treat men with male pattern hair loss to increase hair growth on the scalp and to prevent further hair loss.
Male pattern hair loss is thought to be caused by a combination of family history (heredity) and production of a particular male hormone, called hihydrotestosterone (DHT). More details
