Medicine Description performa-extra 5%
Performa Extra Spray for Hair Loss & Growth Stimulation is a medication that combines finasteride and minoxidil to combat hair loss and promote hair regrowth. Finasteride, a potent 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair follicle shrinkage. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride helps prevent hair loss and supports hair thickness. On the other hand, minoxidil is a vasodilator that enhances blood flow to the hair follicles, stimulating hair growth by revitalizing shrunken hair follicles and prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Together, these two active ingredients create a synergistic effect, improving hair density and overall scalp health.
