CompositionDutaMax Lotion is a topical preparation primarily used to manage male pattern baldness, a common form of hair loss in men. It contains dutasteride, from the class of medicines known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
Dutasteride works by blocking the enzyme that converts testosterone into a more potent hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles, which helps promote hair regrowth by targeting and reversing the underlying causes of hair thinning.
Apply the lotion to the scalp as your doctor advises, generally once daily, and continue regular use for several months, since visible improvement in hair growth takes time.
Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes, and wash your hands after application. Women who are or may become pregnant should avoid handling this product, as dutasteride can be absorbed through the skin.
