Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical solution of Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1%. This unique formulation is designed to address various dermatological conditions, including male and female pattern hair loss, androgenic alopecia, and alopecia areata.

Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, functions by enhancing blood circulation to the scalp, thereby stimulating hair growth. On the other hand, Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, operates by preventing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to contribute to hair loss.

This synergistic combination of active ingredients has demonstrated efficacy in managing male and female pattern hair loss, androgenic alopecia, and alopecia areata. It's crucial to understand that this formulation is not a cure for hair loss. Instead, it serves as a treatment strategy to decelerate the progression of hair loss and stimulate hair growth.

Patients should be aware that the effects of this formulation may take several months to become apparent and that outcomes can vary among individuals. It's also important to note that this formulation is not recommended for use by pregnant or nursing women, or by children under the age of 18.

If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in managing your condition, please don't hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our primary goal is to help you identify the most suitable treatment option tailored to your specific needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. It is primarily used for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness, in adult men and women. It is not recommended for use in children.

The solution should be applied twice daily to the affected area of the scalp. Regular monitoring for signs of hypertrichosis, which is characterized by excessive hair growth, and other potential adverse reactions is advised.

Patients should be cautious to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. In case of accidental contact, the area should be rinsed thoroughly with water. It is also recommended to avoid contact with other areas of the body to prevent potential irritation.

Concurrent use of other topical products on the same area of the scalp may increase the risk of irritation and is therefore not advised. Additionally, patients should avoid using other medications or supplements that may interact with Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Solution.

It is crucial for patients to inform their healthcare provider if they are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Patients should also disclose any allergies or medical conditions that may affect their use of this medication.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Solution is a compounded formulation designed to address the issue of male pattern baldness. This liquid formulation is intended for external application to the skin, specifically the scalp, and serves as a targeted treatment for this common dermatological condition.

The solution combines two active ingredients, Minoxidil and Finasteride, each playing a crucial role in combating hair loss. 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. The combined action of these two medications helps to not only reduce hair loss but also promote hair regrowth.

When using Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Solution, it is essential to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Typically, the solution should be applied to the scalp twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Consistent use is key to achieving optimal results. However, it's important to note that results may not be immediate and may take several months to become noticeable. Patience and regular application are therefore crucial.

It's also important to understand that Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Solution is not a cure for male pattern baldness. It is a long-term treatment designed to help manage hair loss and promote hair regrowth. Discontinuing the use of the solution may result in the return of hair loss.

If you have any queries or require further information about Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Solution, its application, or how it works, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to assist you in finding the most suitable treatment for your individual needs.
