• Generally, people shed around 50 to 100 single hair per day. Hair shedding is a natural process in which some hair sheds while new hair start to grow in. Hair loss occurs when this balance is disrupted and more hair begin to fall than the new hair growing.
• Hair loss affects men, women, and sometimes even children. One may notice hair loss in the form of hair thinning, receding hairline, part widening, and bald patches. Age, genetics, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and certain diseases could be some of the causes of hair fall.
• Hair loss does not have any harmful physical effects as such, but its psychological impact cannot be denied. For most people, their hair is inherently connected to their confidence. If their hair looks good, they feel good about themselves. But if they start losing hair, their self-esteem begins to dwindle. In such a case, one can try one or many treatment options available for dealing with hair loss.
• However, it is always advisable to visit a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

• As mentioned on Carton.

• Captocare F solution is a combination of two medicines: Minoxidil and Finasteride, which treats hair loss in men.
• In men, the balding scalp contains small sized hair follicles along with increased levels of di-hydrotestosterone (DHT) male hormone that is believed to cause excessive hair loss and retards hair growth.
• Minoxidil is a vasodilator, it widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. This prevents hair loss and stimulates re-growth resulting in longer, thicker and increased numbers of hair.
• Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It blocks the production DHT in the scalp that stops hair growth, thereby reversing the balding process and preventing further hair loss.
