Medicated Shampoo for Hairloss, thinning hair and Dandruff
Healthcare Inc. Healthy Luxurious hair  

Shampoo and Medication for hair loss, dandruff and thinning hair.

Constant shampooing and winter weather tends to bring out the worst in dandruff. But there are ways to control this condition. Our Medicated shampoos can  help reduce thinning hair, itching, flaking, dry scalp and hair loss any time of the year:
  • Hair Loss and Dandruff Treatment. Frequent hair washing (daily if needed) is one of the best ways to control dandruff. That's because dandruff results from a faster than normal production of flakes or "clumps" of dead skin cells. For mild or early symptoms, use your regular shampoo-simply washing your hair more often or more carefully  may be enough to eliminate visible flaking.

     

  • Move to medicated shampoo if you are losing your hair. If ordinary shampoo doesn't help, try one of the Aderans medicated shampoos. These work in different ways and your pharmacist can help you find the best one for your needs. Be sure to read product directions carefully - for example, some may be used daily and others only two or three times a week. (In these cases you can still use a regular shampoo in between.)

     

  • Medicine for male pattern baldness and your  scalp. For best results, shampoo twice each time you wash your hair. Use your regular shampoo first to remove oil and dirt- this helps the second shampoo (medicated or regular) "reach" the flakes on your scalp.

     

  • Medicate your scalp. Work shampoo into a good lather and massage it into your scalp for a few minutes. (This helps break up flakes so they're less visible and easier to remove.) Also be sure to leave medicated shampoo on for the time the bottle says (e.g., up to five minutes). It needs time on your scalp where dandruff starts.

     

  • Rinse well. Carefully rinse all shampoo out of your hair (leftover shampoo may add to flaking). If you wish, you may finish washing with a conditioner.

Anti-dandruff measures may take two to three weeks to start working. If your symptoms don't improve in this time, see your pharmacist about what to do next. Be sure to let him or her know which products you've already used and whether you have symptoms on areas other than your scalp.

 

Thickening of the galea (membrane over the scalp) causes pressure on the blood vessels feeding the papilla (hair roots). This is the #1 cause of hair loss in men, and is generally caused by an overproduction of dihydrotestosterone. This tissue generally remains thin and elastic in females, but in many males, this tissue (over the crown and top part of the scalp) thickens and constricts blood flow through the capillaries.


In addition, certain factors can cause the sebacious glands to overproduce sebum (oil), clogging hair follicles and leading to thinning hair and baldness. Dandruff and various "gunky" hair products can combine with sebum and multiply the effect. Also, sebum contains dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is then re-absorbed into the bloodstream through the scalp—this can be very damaging for men who are susceptible to DHT.


Although not as common, simple health issues, such as a thyroid imbalance (due to iodine deficiency), stress (causing muscle tension and constriction of blood vessels in the scalp), and even specific vitamin deficiencies can lead to poor hair growth and eventual hair loss.
