Introduction
Tririse is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Biotin and Finasteride. Biotin is a B-vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails. Finasteride is a medication that is primarily used to treat male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia. Tririse is available under the brand name Tririse.
Uses
Tririse is prescribed to individuals who are experiencing male pattern hair loss. Male pattern hair loss is a common condition characterized by a receding hairline and thinning of the hair on the scalp. Tririse helps to slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth in men with this condition.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage of Tririse is one tablet taken orally once daily. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Tririse can be taken with or without food. Continue taking Tririse as prescribed, even if you do not see immediate results. It may take several months before you notice any improvement in your hair growth.
Mechanism of Action
Both Biotin and Finasteride work in different ways to help combat male pattern hair loss. Biotin helps to support the health of hair follicles by promoting the production of keratin, a protein that is essential for hair growth. Finasteride, on the other hand, inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that is known to contribute to hair loss in individuals with a genetic predisposition.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, and decreased libido. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.
Serious side effects of Tririse are rare, but they can occur. These may include allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or swelling, as well as breast tenderness or enlargement. If you experience any serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.
Drug Interactions
Tririse may interact with certain medications. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements. Some medications that may interact with Tririse include other medications used to treat male pattern hair loss, such as minoxidil.
Precautions
Before taking Tririse, inform your healthcare professional if you have any allergies or medical conditions. Tririse is not recommended for use in women or children. Note that Tririse should not be handled by women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it may cause harm to the developing fetus.
Additionally, Tririse may interact with certain medications or substances. Avoid alcohol while taking Tririse, as it may increase the risk of side effects. Avoid donating blood while taking Tririse and for at least one month after treatment has stopped, as the medication may be present in the blood and can cause harm to a developing fetus if transfused to a pregnant woman.
Storage
Tririse should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not use Tririse if the packaging is damaged or if the expiration date has passed.
