Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 3%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Gel is a specially compounded formulation designed to combat both male and female pattern hair loss. This unique blend combines the potent effects of two active ingredients, minoxidil and finasteride, which synergistically work to halt hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth.

Minoxidil, a vasodilator, functions by enhancing blood flow to the scalp, thereby nourishing hair follicles and promoting their growth. On the other hand, finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, prevents the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to contribute to hair loss. The combined action of these two ingredients has proven effective in treating not only male and female pattern hair loss but also other forms of hair loss.

The Minoxidil 3%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism. This design allows for easy and precise application on the skin, ensuring targeted treatment and optimal absorption of the active ingredients. The gel-like consistency of the formulation ensures it adheres well to the scalp, providing a sustained release of the active ingredients.

For best results, this topical gel should be applied directly to the scalp twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed usage to maximize the benefits of this treatment. Some users may experience common side effects such as scalp irritation, dryness, and itching. If these or any other side effects occur, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider promptly.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we take pride in offering this compounded medication to our patients. We understand the distress hair loss can cause and are committed to providing effective solutions. If you have any queries about Minoxidil 3%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Gel or wish to understand how it can help manage your hair loss, please do not hesitate to contact us.
