Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Finasteride 0.25% Facial Cream is a compounded, semisolid preparation designed for topical application. It is dispensed in a pump mechanism, ensuring convenient and controlled application on the skin. This formulation is specifically designed for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredient, finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.

This topical medication is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including androgenetic alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, and acne vulgaris. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By blocking this conversion, Finasteride 0.25% Facial Cream helps to reduce the levels of DHT in the skin, which can alleviate the symptoms of the aforementioned skin conditions.

Finasteride 0.25% Facial Cream is applied directly to the affected area once daily. It is crucial to note that this medication is not recommended for use in children or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. As with any medication, it is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure the safe and effective use of Finasteride 0.25% Facial Cream.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Finasteride 0.25% Facial Cream, we encourage you to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary information and guidance to ensure you are using the medication correctly and safely.

Therefore, it is essential to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking before starting this treatment.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Finasteride 0.25% Facial Cream is a specially compounded, semisolid preparation designed for topical application. It is primarily used in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness, and hirsutism, a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in women. The active ingredient, Finasteride, works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that plays a significant role in hair loss and excessive hair growth.

This cream is dispensed via a pump mechanism, which allows for a convenient and controlled application directly onto the skin of the affected area, whether it be the scalp or face. The recommended usage is once daily, and it is crucial to adhere to this dosage to avoid potential side effects. Overuse will not accelerate the treatment process, but may increase the risk of side effects.

It's important to understand that Finasteride 0.25% Facial Cream is not a cure for androgenetic alopecia or hirsutism. It is a treatment designed to slow down the progression of these conditions. As such, it may take several months of consistent use before noticeable results are observed. Patience and consistency are key when using this product.

While Finasteride 0.25% Facial Cream is generally well-tolerated, like all medications, it may cause side effects in some individuals. If you have any questions or concerns about using this product, or if you experience any adverse reactions, it is recommended that you seek advice from a healthcare professional.
