Dutamax Lotion is used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Alopecia is the thinning or loss of hair on the scalp or any body part. Androgenetic alopecia is the permanent hair loss from the scalp that causes baldness.

Dutamax Lotion contains Dutasteride, which works by decreasing dihydrotestosterone (a hormone that can cause hair loss) levels and thus helps to prevent or slow down hair loss.

Use Dutamax Lotion as advised by your doctor. Sometimes, Dutamax Lotion may cause itching or irritation at the application site. These side effects of Dutamax Lotion do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, please consult a doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

If you are allergic to Dutasteride or other medicines, please tell your doctor. Dutamax Lotion is for external use only. It is not recommended for children. You are advised to use Dutamax Lotion for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor for effective results.

Dutamax Lotion belongs to the class of medicines called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. It contains Dutasteride, which is used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Dutasteride blocks the action of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme in the body that converts testosterone (male hormone) into dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that causes hair loss. Thereby, it reduces dihydrotestosterone levels and slows down or prevents hair loss. Also, it improves hair growth.

Itching or irritation at the application site

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Dutasteride or other medicines. Dutamax Lotion is for external use only. It is not recommended for children. You are advised to use Dutamax Lotion for as long as your doctor prescribes it for effective results. Do not stop using Dutamax Lotion abruptly, as it may result in the loss of regrown hair within a few months. If you have an enlarged prostate gland, inform your doctor before using Dutamax Lotion.

Androgenetic alopecia: It is also known as male or female pattern baldness. In male-pattern baldness, hair loss occurs on the top and front of the head. On the other hand, in female pattern baldness, thinning occurs on the top and crown of the head. Male pattern baldness is usually genetic in nature or associated with androgens (male sex hormones).
