Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 5%/Ketoconazole 2%/Finasteride 0.5% 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 both men and women. The solution combines three active ingredients, each with a unique role in combating hair loss.

Minoxidil, a vasodilator, works by increasing blood flow to the scalp, thereby stimulating hair growth. Ketoconazole, an antifungal agent, aids in reducing scalp inflammation and dandruff, which can contribute to hair loss. Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, helps to decrease the production of DHT, a hormone known to cause hair loss.

Patients are advised to apply the solution to the affected area of the scalp twice daily, adhering strictly to the recommended dosage. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth during application. In case of accidental contact, the area should be rinsed thoroughly with water. Concurrent use of other topical medications on the same area of the scalp should be avoided unless advised by a healthcare provider.

While this medication has been shown to be effective in treating androgenetic alopecia, patients should be aware that it may take several months to see results. Potential side effects include itching, redness, or irritation of the scalp. If these or any other side effects occur, patients should immediately contact their healthcare provider.

Prescribers should note that this medication is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the solution. Additionally, it should not be used in pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential risks.

If you have any questions or concerns about Minoxidil 5%/Ketoconazole 2%/Finasteride 0.5% Topical Solution, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 5%/Ketoconazole 2%/Finasteride 0.5% Topical Solution is a potent, compounded formulation designed to address various hair loss conditions. This unique blend of three active ingredients works synergistically to promote hair growth, reduce hair loss, and alleviate certain scalp conditions.

Minoxidil, a vasodilator, enhances blood flow to the scalp, thereby stimulating hair growth. It works by widening blood vessels, allowing more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to reach the hair follicles. This can help to revive and increase the size of hair follicles that have shrunk over time due to hereditary hair loss.

Ketoconazole, an antifungal agent, helps to manage inflammation and itching associated with certain scalp conditions. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungus, thereby reducing inflammation and discomfort. It also has anti-androgenic effects which can help in reducing the production of hormones that contribute to hair loss.

Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, reduces the production of DHT, a hormone known to contribute to hair loss. By blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, Finasteride can help to slow down hair loss and in some cases, even promote new hair growth.

When used in combination, these three active ingredients provide a comprehensive approach to treating hair loss. The solution should be applied directly to the scalp twice daily, massaging it in until fully absorbed. It's important to remember that results may take several months to become visible, and consistent use is key to maintaining these results.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Minoxidil 5%/Ketoconazole 2%/Finasteride 0.5% Topical Solution, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to assist you in finding the most effective treatment for your hair loss condition.
