Abstract:
A method for treating hair loss caused by androgenic alopecia and/or male pattern baldness. The method, which not only slows hair loss but causes hair re-growth, includes approximately daily application to a subject's scalp of a novel composition comprising finasteride (Propecia® or Proscar®), dutasteride (Avodart®), and minoxidil (Rogaine®) as active ingredients in a hypoallergenic cream-based vehicle, preferably coupled with daily ingestion of 1 mg per day of finasteride (Propecia® or Proscar®), application to the scalp of 5% minoxidil (Rogaine®) foam approximately once per day, and use of a ketoconazole-containing shampoo (e.g., Nizoral®) approximately 2-3 times per week. The method described herein also resolves scalp dermatitis in atopic subjects suffering therefrom. A method for making the novel composition is also provided.
