Alerana - with topical application it has a stimulating effect on hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia (hair thinning, baldness). Improves microcirculation, stimulates the transition of hair follicles to the active growing phase, changes the effect of androgens on hair follicles. Reduces the formation of 5-alpha-dehydrosterone (possibly, indirectly), which plays an important role in the formation of alopecia. The best effect is for a small prescription of the disease (no more than 10 years), young patients, the bald spot in the top of the head is no more than 10 cm, and there are more than 100 gun and terminal hair in the center of the bald head. The appearance of signs of hair growth is noted after 4 or more months of application of the drug. The onset and severity of the effect may vary in different patients. A 5% solution of the drug stimulates hair growth more strongly than the 2% solution, which was noted by the increase in growth of fleece hair.

After stopping the use of the drug Aleran, the growth of new hair is suspended,and within 3-4 months it is possible to restore the original appearance. The exact mechanism of action of the drug Aleran in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia is unknown. Minoxidil is ineffective in case of baldness caused by taking a drug, improper nutrition (iron deficiency (Fe), vitamin A), as a result of hair styling in "tight" hairstyles.

Composition

Minoxidil + excipients (vitamins in the formulation are not included).

Pharmacokinetics

With external application, Aleran is poorly absorbed through normal intact skin: on average 1.5% (0.3-4.5%) of the total applied dose enters the systemic circulation. The effect of concomitant skin diseases on the absorption of minoxidil is unknown. After discontinuation of the drug, approximately 95% of minoxidil, which enters the systemic circulation, is excreted within 4 days. The profile of metabolic biotransformation of minoxidil after external application of the drug Aleran has not been fully studied to the present. Minoxidil does not bind to plasma proteins and is excreted by the kidneys through glomerular filtration. Minoxidil does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Excreted mainly with urine.

Apply Aleran only on the dry skin of the scalp after bathing or wait about 4 hours after applying the drug before bathing.Do not let your head get wet before 4 hours after application. If you applied the drug with your fingertips, after handling the head, your hands should be thoroughly washed. Wash your hair with Alaran is recommended in the usual way. Hairspray and other hair care products can be used during the period of application of the drug Aleran. Before applying hair care products, first apply the Aleran preparation and wait until the treated area of ​​the skin is completely dry. There is no evidence that hair coloring, perming, or the use of hair softeners can somehow reduce the effectiveness of the drug. However, to prevent possible irritation of the scalp, you need to make sure that the product has been completely washed off the hair and scalp before using these chemicals.

Before starting treatment with Aleran, patients should undergo a general examination, including the collection and study of medical history. The physician should make sure that the scalp skin is healthy.

When systemic side effects or severe skin reactions occur, patients should cancel the drug and consult a doctor.

The composition of the drug Aleran includes ethyl alcohol, which can cause inflammation and eye irritation. In case of contact with sensitive surfaces (eyes, irritated skin, mucous membranes), rinse the area with plenty of cold water.

Drug Interactions

There is a theoretical possibility of strengthening orthostatic hypotension in patients receiving concomitant treatment with peripheral vasodilators, which, however, did not receive clinical confirmation. We can not rule out a very slight increase in minoxidil in the blood of patients suffering from hypertension and taking minoxidil inwards in the case of simultaneous use of Alaran's drug, although relevant clinical studies have not been conducted.

It is established that Alerana for external use can interact with some other medicines for external use.The simultaneous use of a solution of minoxidil for external use and cream containing Betamethasone (0.05%) leads to a decrease in the systemic absorption of minoxidil. Simultaneous use of cream containing Tretinoin (0.05%) leads to increased absorption of minoxidil.

Simultaneous application to the skin of Aleran and preparations for external use, such as tretinoin and dithranol, which cause changes in the protective functions of the skin, may lead to an increase in the absorption of minoxidil.
