GlossaryProstaglandin Analogs (PG Analogues)

synthetic compounds mimicking prostaglandins, affecting hair growth

Prostaglandin Analogs are synthetic compounds that mimic the action of prostaglandins, which are naturally occurring substances in the body involved in various physiological processes, including inflammation and the regulation of blood flow. These analogs are commonly used in medical treatments, such as for glaucoma to reduce intraocular pressure and in some cases to promote hair growth, as they can influence hair follicle activity.
