Some treatments lower the amount of DHT in the hair cell by reducing the enzyme 5 alpha reductase (Type II only), but they do not stop testosterone getting to the androgen receptor. Therefore, these treatments are not entirely effective, and patients usually see very little results.

TRICHAGEN® tablets for men, are proven to block the hair cell androgen receptors, and therefore stop either testosterone or DHT entering. It also reduces the amount of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase (Type I & Type II), which in turn lowers the amount of DHT in the hair cell. This leads to the recovery of the hair cell, which allows it to produce a longer and thicker hair over a period of time. Patients will end up with more hairs per square centimetre and these hairs will be thicker in diameter (hair density increase), giving a much-improved overall appearance, with further hair loss prevented.

How should you take Trichagen tablets?
25mg daily is sufficient for many patients to achieve results, but those with extensive loss or wishing to obtain maximum results may take 50mg daily for up to 12 months, and thereafter 25mg should be taken.

When can you expect to see results?
Male Pattern hair loss starts in most people shortly after puberty, and develops over a long period of time. Therefore, results cannot be achieved over night. In general, most men notice a reduction or the stopping of hair loss within 3-6 months, as well as a reduction in the amount of scalp sebum. It may be 6-12 months before an increase in hair density is noticed, but providing the follicles are still alive, improvements will occur. If you stop taking Trichagen tablets, you are likely to lose the hair you have gained, within 6-12 months.
