What is ZAGALLO ?

ZAGALLO is a new AGA (androgenetic alopecia) treatment drug approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in 2015. The active ingredient, dutasteride, inhibits both type I and type II 5α-reductase enzymes, thereby suppressing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a male hormone derived from testosterone and is considered a causative agent of AGA. Taking 1 mg of ZAGALLO once a day is expected to promote hair growth.

About AGA

AGA (androgenetic alopecia) occurs when DHT, a type of male hormone, acts on the dermal papilla cells of the scalp, inhibiting hair growth.

Dermal papilla cells play a role in supplying the nutrients necessary for hair growth. DHT acts on these cells, inhibiting the supply of nutrients and thus hindering hair growth. Additionally, DHT binds to receptors in dermal papilla cells, promoting division and further inhibiting hair growth. Dermal papilla cells repeatedly divide to grow hair, but DHT shortens the hair growth cycle, causing hair to fall out before it has fully grown, leading to thinning hair.

AGA is influenced by both genetic factors and lifestyle habits. Genetic factors include high DHT production and dermal papilla cells being sensitive to DHT. Lifestyle habits such as stress, smoking, and excessive drinking also increase the risk of AGA.

Treatment options for AGA include pharmacotherapy and surgery. Pharmacotherapy uses drugs like finasteride and dutasteride to suppress the effects of male hormones. Surgical treatments include hair transplantation and non-surgical hair restoration.

Since AGA is a progressive condition, early treatment is important. It is essential to receive diagnosis and treatment from a doctor for AGA.

Symptoms of AGA include thinning hair on the crown or frontal area and a decrease in hair volume. Since AGA is a progressive condition, early treatment is crucial.

Although there is a lot of information on the internet, it is important to receive correct treatment based on a doctor’s diagnosis rather than self-diagnosis.

How ZAGALLO Works

ZAGALLO is expected to have a higher hair growth effect compared to other AGA treatment drugs like finasteride. While finasteride only inhibits type II 5α-reductase enzymes, ZAGALLO inhibits both type I and type II enzymes. Therefore, even those who did not see sufficient effects with finasteride may be able to suppress the progression of thinning hair with ZAGALLO. Additionally, ZAGALLO has been reported to have fewer side effects than finasteride.

Effects of ZAGALLO

The effects of ZAGALLO begin to appear 2-3 months after starting the medication. By continuously taking ZAGALLO, you can suppress the progression of thinning hair and promote hair growth. While ZAGALLO is effective for treating AGA, its effects do not last if you stop taking it, similar to finasteride. Therefore, long-term intake is necessary for AGA treatment. Since ZAGALLO has been reported to cause side effects such as sexual dysfunction, it is important to consult a doctor before taking it.

How to Take ZAGALLO

Take 1 mg of ZAGALLO once a day. ZAGALLO is not affected by meals, so there is no need to worry about the timing of food intake.

Effects of ZAGALLO start to appear within 2-4 weeks after beginning the medication. By continuously taking ZAGALLO, you can suppress the progression of AGA and promote hair growth.

While ZAGALLO is effective for treating AGA, it is important to understand its differences from other AGA treatments before taking it. Diagnosis and treatment by a doctor are crucial for AGA treatment.
