Medicinal Benefits

Dutamax Lotion belongs to the class of medicines called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. It contains Dutasteride, which is used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Dutasteride blocks the action of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme in the body that converts testosterone (male hormone) into dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that causes hair loss. Thereby, it reduces dihydrotestosterone levels and slows down or prevents hair loss. Also, it improves hair growth.
