Bayview Pharmacy's Minoxidil 5%/Dutasteride 0.05%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Lotion is a specially compounded formulation designed for external application to the skin. This unique blend of medications is intended to treat a variety of dermatological conditions, including androgenic alopecia, acne vulgaris, hirsutism, hypertrichosis, and seborrheic dermatitis.

The lotion is a liquid or semi-liquid formulation that provides a smooth and spreadable consistency. It is designed to offer moisturizing, soothing, or therapeutic effects for specific skin conditions, while promoting absorption of active ingredients for localized treatment.

Minoxidil, a key ingredient in this formulation, is a vasodilator that works by increasing blood flow to the scalp, stimulating hair growth.

Tretinoin, a topical retinoid, aids in reducing inflammation and promoting cell turnover, which can help to reduce the appearance of acne and other skin conditions.

This combination of medications is an effective treatment for the aforementioned conditions. However, it is crucial to use this formulation as directed by a healthcare provider. Misuse or overuse can lead to unwanted side effects or reduced effectiveness. If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation is a topical lotion that combines three active ingredients: Minoxidil 5%, Dutasteride 0.05%, and Tretinoin 0.025%. Each of these ingredients plays a crucial role in addressing specific skin and hair conditions.

Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, works by increasing blood flow to the scalp. This enhanced circulation can stimulate hair growth, making it an effective treatment for individuals suffering from androgenic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness.

Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It functions by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can contribute to hair loss. By inhibiting DHT, Dutasteride can help to slow or prevent hair loss in individuals with androgenic alopecia.

Tretinoin, a type of retinoid, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It can help to reduce the appearance of acne, hirsutism, hypertrichosis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Tretinoin promotes the turnover of skin cells, which can help to unclog pores and reduce inflammation, making it a valuable component in the treatment of various skin conditions.

When used in combination, these three medications can effectively alleviate the symptoms of androgenic alopecia, acne vulgaris, hirsutism, hypertrichosis, and seborrheic dermatitis. The lotion should be applied to the affected area twice daily for optimal results. Consistent use is key, as it may take several weeks or even months to observe the full effects of the treatment.

It's important to remember that individual responses to treatment can vary, and what works best for one person may not work as well for another. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its use, don't hesitate to reach out for further information. We're here to assist you in finding the most effective treatment for your specific condition.
