    TLDR Combining Finasteride and Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss in middle-aged men.
    The study discusses the combined use of Finasteride and Minoxidil for treating hair loss, particularly in middle-aged men. Finasteride, an oral medication, inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, reducing levels of DHT (di-hydrotestosterone), which is linked to hair follicle atrophy. Minoxidil, primarily a vasodilator, also promotes hair growth by mechanisms not fully understood but believed to involve calcium channel blocking. The combination of these drugs aims to enhance hair growth and reduce hair loss, addressing both hormonal and vascular factors.

      A 15-year-old is concerned about hair loss, possibly at Norwood 2 or 3, and is using shampoos and conditioners recommended by a trichologist. Suggestions include considering topical minoxidil and consulting a doctor about topical anti-DHT treatments like finasteride or RU58841, but avoiding 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors at this age.
