Spectral DNC, 60ml
(DIV-00006)

Spectral DNC® is a medication containing 5% Minoxidil and Aminexil SP94. This formulation uses tiny micro spheres called nanosomes that are used to encapsulate the active ingredients in a lotion compound. Other compounds are used to enhance the action of Minoxidil and Aminexil; these compounds are Retinol, Triclosan, and Piroctone Olamine. Other components of this formulation are purified water, Ivy nanosomes, Hops nanosomes, Capsicum nanosomes, Ethanol, Vitamin and Mineral Complex, Propyleneglycol, and Methyl Paraben.

Other compounds are used to enhance the action of Minoxidil and Aminexil; these compounds are Retinol, Procyanidin B-1 and C-2, Adenosine, and Piroctone Olamine.

The addition of Procyanidin B-1 and C-2 and Adenosine nanosomes to this formulation is a recent modification and has allowed a further enhancement of effectiveness and rapidness of results.

Spectral DNC® is the newest compound developed in the fight against hair loss and has several unique advantages over other hair loss medications. Spectral DNC® works faster and better than medications containing only Minoxidil with similar tolerability and side effects.
Spectral DNC® allows patients to re-grow normally thick and healthy hair and may work for patients who previously did not respond to Minoxidil treatment. This medication is intended for both the crown of the scalp and frontal baldness (receding hairline).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
When applied topically, Minoxidil topical solution has been shown to stimulate hair growth in individuals with alopecia androgenetica (male pattern baldness) and hair loss occurring on the crown of the scalp. Although the exact mechanism of action of Minoxidil in the treatment of alopecia androgenetica is not known, there may be more than one mechanism by which Minoxidil stimulates hair growth; they include: direct stimulation of the hair follicle cells to enter into a proliferative phase: resting phase (telogen) follicles being stimulated to pass into active phase (anagen) follicles; alteration of the effect of androgens on genetically predetermined hair follicles. Minoxidil may affect the androgen metabolism in the scalp by inhibiting the capacity of androgens to affect the hair follicles. Following topical application of Minoxidil topical solution, Minoxidil is poorly absorbed from normal intact skin, with an average of 1.4% (range 0.3 to 4.5%) of the total applied dose reaching the systemic circulation. The use of nanosomes as the carrier agent in Spectral DNC® increases the absorption and effectiveness of Minoxidil. Aminexil has been shown to increase hair density and hair growth by preventing perifollicular fibrosis. Perifollicular Fibrosis is a condition that accompanies all alopecia whereby the collagen around the hair root becomes rigid and tightens, pushing the root to the surface and causing premature hair loss. The use of nanosomes as the carrier agent in Spectral DNC® increases the absorption and effectiveness of Aminexil.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
This formulation is contraindicated in individuals with a history of sensitivity reactions to any of its components. It should be discontinued if hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients is noted.

GENERAL:
- As with all topical hair loss medications, it is important to start treatment early. Since the treatment works by revitalizing hair follicles, follicles that have been dormant for many years will not respond as well as follicles that just recently became compromised.
- Spectral DNC® will not prevent or improve hair loss which may occur with the use of some medications, hypothyrodism, chemotherapy, or diseases which cause scarring of the scalp.
- For best results with Spectral DNC®, apply the medicine directly to the scalp twice a day, every day, without skipping applications.
- In some patients, Spectral DNC® may cause scalp irritation. If scalp irritation continues or worsens stop use and see a doctor.
- Results may occur at 2 months with twice a day usage. For some men, you may need to use this product for at least 3 months before you see results. Hair grows at a rate of 1 – 2 cm per month and therefore it will take time to see results.
- When you first begin to use Spectral DNC® your hair loss may increase temporarily for up to 2 weeks. This temporarily increase in hair loss
indicates that you are shedding old hairs to begin growing new hairs. If the increase in hair loss continues after 2 weeks, discontinue use and see your doctor.
- If your hair loss or thinning hair is due to hereditary male pattern baldness, continued use of Spectral DNC® is necessary or the hair loss will begin again. If your hair loss is cased by other factors then it may be possible to completely discontinue treatment and maintain the newly grown hair.
- Allow time for Spectral DNC® to completely dry before bedtime to prevent smearing on the pillow and transferring the medication to the face to prevent unwanted facial hair growth.
- Apply 1 ml (10 sprays) with applicator 2 times a day directly on to the scalp in areas of hair loss and thinning hair. Using less will reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
- If you miss a does of Spectral DNC® do not try to make up for it by applying multiple doses the next day. Just return to your normal treatment schedule.
- Spectral DNC® should not be used by people under 18 years of age.

WARNINGS:
Spectral DNC contains strong vasodilator compounds increasing the absorption of Minoxidil and some people may experience a higher sensitivity to Minoxidil side effects. You should not use Spectral DNC if you have low blood pressure or are taking blood pressure lowering medications. People with heart failure or significant coronary heart disease should avoid Spectral DNC® because of these side effects.

The most common side effects are redness and irritation of the scalp.

Pregnancy: Spectral DNC® should not be used in pregnancy and by nursing women.

IF YOU EXPERIENCE RAPID HEART BEAT, DIZZINESS OR SHORTNESS OF BREATH DISCONTINUE THE USE OF Spectral DNC® AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

Stop use and consult a doctor if sudden unexplained weight gain occurs, your hands or feet swell, or if unwanted facial hair growth occurs.

To prevent unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body make sure that you limit the application of Spectral DNC® only to the scalp, wash your hands with soap and water immediately after use, and allow the lotion to dry completely before going to bed.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE. Apply 14 sprays directly in the area of hair loss and thinning hair, twice per day. Hold the localized spray close to the scalp to avoid getting the medication on the hair. Massage the lotion into the scalp. Do not rinse.

Wash your hands with soap and water immediately after use. Spectral DNC® should be applied whether your hair has been washed or not.

OVERDOSAGE:
If the medication is applied excessively, no more rapid or better results will be obtained and this will increase the chances of side effects.
