Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specialized topical gel formulation of Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1%. This unique combination of medications is designed to address various hair loss conditions, such as male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium. The gel is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism, allowing for easy and precise application on the skin. This targeted treatment facilitates the absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency, ensuring optimal results.

Minoxidil, a vasodilator, functions by enhancing blood flow to the scalp, thereby stimulating hair growth. On the other hand, Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, works by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to contribute to hair loss. This potent combination of medications has demonstrated effectiveness in treating hair loss conditions, with some studies indicating an increase in hair growth and a decrease in hair loss.

It's crucial to understand that this medication should be incorporated as part of a comprehensive hair loss treatment plan. This plan may encompass lifestyle adjustments, dietary modifications, and the use of other medications. The goal is to create a holistic approach to hair loss treatment that addresses the condition from multiple angles, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.

If you have any inquiries about this unique formulation or how it can assist in treating your hair loss condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Gel is a semisolid preparation designed for easy and precise application on the skin. It is dispensed through a pump mechanism, ensuring targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency. This formulation is specifically indicated for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness, in adult men and women.

Patients should be informed that this formulation may cause local skin irritation, including symptoms such as redness, itching, burning, and dryness. Additionally, it may cause hair growth in areas other than the scalp, such as the face, chest, and back. It is important to use this formulation as directed and avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Washing hands after applying the gel is also recommended.

Prescribers should note that this formulation is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to either minoxidil or finasteride. It should also not be used in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, as minoxidil may cause hypotension. If there are any questions or concerns about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed to combat male pattern baldness and androgenetic alopecia. This unique combination of active ingredients works synergistically to reduce hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth. Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, enhances blood flow to the scalp, thereby improving the delivery of nutrients to hair follicles. Finasteride, on the other hand, is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to contribute to hair loss.

The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application. To use, apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area of the scalp twice daily, gently massaging it in until it is fully absorbed. It is crucial to adhere to the recommended dosage and not exceed it. Consistent use is key, as the medication may take several months to show results. Even after results are visible, it is important to continue using the medication to maintain the benefits.

While Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Gel is a powerful tool in the fight against hair loss, it is not a cure-all. Individual results may vary, and it is always recommended to discuss any concerns or questions with a healthcare professional. If you have any queries about this medication or its application, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Other Uses

Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation that has been explored for its potential use in treating various conditions. These include hirsutism, a condition characterized by excessive hair growth, seborrheic dermatitis, a common skin condition that mainly affects the scalp, and scalp psoriasis, a skin disorder that causes red, itchy, scaly patches. However, the effectiveness of this formulation in treating these conditions has not been definitively established through clinical studies.

Furthermore, this formulation has been investigated for its potential use in treating alopecia areata in children. Alopecia areata is a condition that causes hair to fall out in small patches. Despite these studies, the results have been inconclusive, and the safety and efficacy of this formulation for use in children under the age of 18 have not been established. Therefore, it is not recommended for use in this age group.
