Dr. Reddy's launches MINTOP PRO TM- ProcapilTMHair Therapy

Hyderabad, India, September 04, 2015

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...

Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (NYSE: RDY) has announced its entry into the Hair Serum Market with the launch of MINTOP PROTM- Procapil Hair Therapy. MINTOP PROTMcomes from the same branch of business that manufactures MINTOP - the No. 1 dermatologist recommended brand in the country.1
Studies reveal that Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is one of the most common reasons for dermatological consultation. This type of hair loss has been reported in 58%2of middle-age men and 19%3of women and there have been rapid advancements in understanding the pathophysiology of AGA over the last few years.
PROCAPILTMis a new breakthrough formula that strengthens hair and prevents excessive hair loss naturally, without any side effects. PROCAPILTMconsists of a patented vitaminated matrikine with Apigenin and Oleanolic acid, which specifically targets the three main reasons responsible for hair loss.
Naturally derived Oleanolic acid inhibits the production of Dihydrotestosterone, a chemical derivative of testosterone, which plays a major role in hair loss in most men and some women. Apigenin enhances microcirculation into the hair follicles keeping it nourished, while Biotinyl-GHK helps normalize hair anchorage in the lower layer of skin thereby demonstrating anti - ageing properties.

Clinical studies reveal that, MINTOP PROTMdemonstrated promising results with a 121% increase in hair shaft growth as compared to placebo and 67% volunteers witnessed a noteworthy rise in Anagen to Telogen Ratio of upto 46%. (A/T ratio or hair growth coefficient is the ratio of the number of anagen hairs to the number of telogen hairs, indicates the proportion of active hair follicles)

MINTOP PROTMwill be available in a 75 ml pack with MRP of INR 995/- at all leading pharmacy stores across India.
