Indications
Recur is specifically designed to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia) exclusively in men.
Pharmacology
Recur contains Finasteride, a selective inhibitor of Type II 5α-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By blocking this conversion, Finasteride reduces DHT levels in both the scalp and serum, which helps combat hair loss associated with elevated DHT. It does not interact with androgen receptors and has no androgenic or antiandrogenic effects.
Dosage & Administration
The recommended dose of Recur is 1 mg daily, which can be taken with or without food. For optimal results, it is generally necessary to use Recur for at least three months. Continued usage is required to maintain results, as discontinuation will lead to a reversal of effects within 12 months.
Interaction
No significant drug interactions have been reported with Recur.
Contraindications
Recur should not be used by individuals who are hypersensitive to any of its ingredients, and it is contraindicated for women and children.
Side Effects
