About Healpecia Tablet
Healpecia Tablet 10 is used to treat male pattern hair loss by reducing levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp. It helps to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Continuous use is needed to maintain results.
In addition to increasing hair growth on the scalp, it also prevents further hair loss in the treated areas. This medicine offers a convenient method for managing male pattern baldness through once-daily oral dosing.
Before starting this medicine, you should consult your doctor who will advise the appropriate dosage and frequency. It’s important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions or ongoing medications you are taking. If you experience any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue this medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.
Diet & Lifestyle
- Incorporate a balanced diet into your daily routine, focusing on proteins, as they are vital for hair growth. Foods rich in protein include eggs, lean meats, and lentils.
- Regular exercise can help improve blood circulation, which could enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your scalp, supporting hair growth. Activities might include walking, cycling, or yoga.

How Healpecia 1 Tablet 10 Works?
Healpecia Tablet contains Finasteride (1 mg), which has specific actions on your body:
- Inhibits 5-alpha reductase: Finasteride blocks an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase in your body. This enzyme plays a crucial role in converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
- Reduces DHT levels: By inhibiting the action of 5-alpha reductase, finasteride effectively lowers the levels of DHT in the scalp.
- Enhances hair growth: With reduced levels of DHT, which is known to shrink hair follicles, finasteride helps enhance hair growth and slow down further hair loss.
