Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation is a topical solution that combines Minoxidil 5%, Finasteride 0.1%, and Tretinoin 0.025%. It is designed for external application to the skin, offering a convenient and versatile method of delivering these active ingredients for targeted treatment of various dermatological conditions.

The solution is primarily indicated for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, acne vulgaris, and photoaging. Minoxidil, a vasodilator, works by increasing scalp blood flow and stimulating hair follicle growth. Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a hormone responsible for male pattern baldness. Tretinoin, a retinoid, aids in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.

Patients are advised to apply this topical solution to the affected area twice daily, ideally in the morning and evening. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Patients should also be advised to use sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product to prevent any potential skin damage.

Patients should be monitored for signs of hypertrichosis, an excessive growth of hair, and signs of skin irritation, such as redness, itching, burning, or stinging. These could be potential side effects of the treatment.

Patients are also advised to avoid using other topical products on the same area as this topical solution to prevent any potential interactions. Additionally, patients should avoid using other products containing minoxidil, finasteride, or tretinoin to prevent any potential overdose or side effects.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 5%/Finasteride 0.1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Solution is a compounded formulation designed to address the issue of androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male and female pattern hair loss. This solution combines the therapeutic benefits of three active ingredients: Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Tretinoin.

Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, works by enhancing blood flow to the scalp. This increased circulation stimulates the hair follicles, promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss. Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, plays a crucial role in reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that is often associated with hair loss. By inhibiting DHT production, Finasteride helps to prevent hair follicle shrinkage, thereby reducing hair loss.

Tretinoin, a retinoid, contributes to this formulation by accelerating cell turnover. This process helps to shed old, dead skin cells and promotes the growth of new, healthy hair. The combined action of these three ingredients provides a comprehensive approach to treating hair loss, promoting hair growth, and improving the overall health of the scalp.

The Minoxidil 5%/Finasteride 0.1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Solution should be applied directly to the scalp twice daily for optimal results. Consistent use is key, as it may take several months to observe noticeable improvements. It's important to continue using the solution even after results become apparent to maintain the health and growth of your hair.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Minoxidil 5%/Finasteride 0.1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Solution, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are committed to helping you find the most effective treatment for your hair loss.
