Working of the drug

1 mg strength tablets of Proscalpin contain Finasteride as its active ingredient. 

Finasteride is a 5-alpha Reductase inhibitor.  

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone causes hair follicles to miniaturize, which results in baldness in men. It can result in a receding hairline or balding of the top of the head. 

Finasteride acts to restrict the conversion of testosterone to DHT. In this way, it reduces DHT levels in the body. 

This reduction of DHT hormone reverses the balding process and helps to prevent further hair loss.

Finasteride is proven to be a highly effective medication for male pattern baldness.
