Caretopic (finasteride) 2.275 mg/ml scalp spray, 180 sprays

Description

🇮🇹 CARETOPIC 2.275 mg/ml (Cantabria Labs / Difa Cooper, Italy; A.I.C. 049013016) —

💊 Finasteride as a scalp spray for male pattern hair loss: it works on the hair follicles where they grow, with far less of the drug reaching the blood than with a tablet.

▪︎ 1 ml = 2.275 mg finasteride; one spray = 50 µl = 114 µg; bottle of 180 sprays with a spray pump and a separate cone applicator

🕒 Label: men 18–41 years with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia — 1 to 4 sprays once a day onto dry areas of thinning, the drug stays on the skin for at least 6 hours; growth usually shows after 3–6 months of daily use

🔬 Mechanism: blocks 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that turns testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone that shrinks hair follicles

🧬 Evidence: phase 3 randomized trial, 458 men, 24 weeks — +20.2 hairs in the target area vs +6.7 on placebo, numerically close to the 1 mg tablet; peak plasma level more than 100 times lower than with the tablet, serum DHT −34.5 % vs −55.6 % on the tablet (Piraccini, JEADV 2022)

⚠️ Prescription drug (Rx): prescribed by a doctor after assessment. Not for women — contraindicated in pregnancy and in women who may become pregnant (risk to a male fetus), avoid contact with the treated scalp; not for under-18s. Most frequent: scalp itching and redness.
