About FinjuveTM (topical finasteride)1
Finjuve is the new formulation of Finasteride indicated for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in adult men. Finjuve has been proved to have an equivalent efficacy to oral finasteride 1mg tablets with good safety profile, a localized therapeutic effect & a minimized absorption and exposure throughout the body. Finjuve showed clinical and statistically significant differences compared to placebo with a 3-fold effect in hair count increase from baseline at 24 weeks after administration. Finjuve was developed to penetrate into the scalp hair follicles with a water-soluble semi-synthetic polymer with high skin affinity. Also, Finjuve is efficiently applied to the scalp through a cone that prevents from spreading outside and improves overall safety. *Source: AETOSWire
