Product Introduction

Fultress F 10% Topical Solution is a combination hair-treatment product containing Minoxidil 10% and Finasteride 0.1%. It is formulated for topical application to the scalp and is marketed as a hair regrowth formula. The packaging also highlights a lipid-containing formulation.

Hair thinning and pattern hair loss can be associated with shrinking hair follicles and hormonal factors. Minoxidil supports hair follicle activity, while topical finasteride helps reduce the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone involved in androgenetic alopecia. The combination may help manage pattern hair loss in appropriate patients.

The pack contains 60 ml of solution and illustrates both spray and dropper application methods. Because this formulation contains high-strength minoxidil and finasteride, it should be used only as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. Results vary by individual, and continued use may be needed to maintain benefits.

Uses

• Management of pattern hair loss when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

• Helping reduce ongoing hair thinning associated with androgenetic alopecia.

• Supporting hair regrowth in suitable patients.

• Helping maintain scalp hair density as part of a clinician-directed hair-loss treatment plan.

The product's suitability depends on the cause of hair loss. It is not intended to treat every type of hair shedding, such as hair loss caused by nutritional deficiencies, thyroid disorders, or scalp disease.

How to Use

Follow the prescribing physician's instructions and the product leaflet. The supplied images do not establish a specific dose or frequency, so do not assume a standard dose.

1. Ensure the scalp is clean and dry before application.

2. Open the bottle and fit the appropriate supplied applicator, following the pack's spray or dropper instructions.

3. Apply only the prescribed quantity to the affected scalp areas.

4. Spread the solution carefully over the intended area without allowing it to run onto the face or other skin.

5. Wash your hands thoroughly after application.

6. Allow the solution to dry completely. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, broken skin, and other unintended areas.

7. Close the bottle securely and keep it in its carton, protected from direct sunlight, as directed on the packaging.

Important: Do not increase the amount or frequency to accelerate results. Avoid transferring the solution to other people, and prevent contact with pregnant individuals or those who may become pregnant, particularly because of the finasteride content. Confirm the prescribed dose with your clinician or pharmacist.

How it Works

Minoxidil 10%: Minoxidil promotes hair growth through effects on the hair follicle and hair-growth cycle. It can help support the transition of follicles into the anagen (growth) phase and may increase hair shaft thickness in responsive individuals. Its complete mechanism in hair growth is not fully understood.

Finasteride 0.1%: Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Lowering DHT exposure may reduce the hormonal influence that contributes to follicle miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia.

Combined action: The ingredients target different aspects of pattern hair loss. However, this product's 10% minoxidil strength is higher than the concentration in many commonly used topical formulations, and evidence for efficacy and safety cannot automatically be extrapolated from lower-strength products.
