Why should your patients take the HairDX (RxR) Genetic Test?
- The HairDX (RxR) Genetic Test will help you determine if your patient will have a slight or great treatment response to Finasteride; thus, allowing you to provide your patients with the best treatment regimen to save their hair
- As an additional benefit, the HairDX (RxR) Genetic Test will help you assess if your patient is at an increased risk for developing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Enlarged Prostate); thus, potentially benefiting from the use of Finasteride
What will the HairDX (RxR) Genetic Test tell me?
- The HairDX (RxR) Genetic Test provides men with a score, called the CAG repeat score
- A smaller CAG repeat score is associated with an increased response to Finasteride for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men
- In addition, a smaller CAG test score is associated with an increased risk of developing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Enlarged Prostate)
