Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specialized topical solution that combines Minoxidil 5%, Tretinoin 0.025%, and Finasteride 0.05%. This unique formulation is a liquid intended for external application to the skin, providing a convenient and versatile means of delivering medication, therapeutic agents, or other active ingredients for targeted treatment of various dermatological conditions or localized effects.

The combination of these medications is designed to address a range of conditions, including male pattern baldness, acne, and androgenic alopecia. Minoxidil 5% is a vasodilator that enhances blood flow to the scalp, stimulating hair growth. Tretinoin 0.025% is a topical retinoid that reduces inflammation and promotes cell turnover, helping to diminish acne and improve skin texture. Finasteride 0.05% is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that curbs the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to cause hair loss.

This compounded formulation offers a targeted approach to treating male pattern baldness, acne, and androgenic alopecia. It is crucial to note that this formulation should be used strictly under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Minoxidil 5%/Tretinoin 0.025%/Finasteride 0.05% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. It is primarily used for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, acne vulgaris, and seborrheic dermatitis. Each component of this solution plays a crucial role in addressing these conditions.

Minoxidil 5% is a vasodilator that works by enlarging the hair follicles, which in turn promotes hair growth. This makes it an effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia. Tretinoin 0.025%, a type of retinoid, aids in reducing inflammation and promoting cell turnover. This can help alleviate symptoms of acne and seborrheic dermatitis. Lastly, Finasteride 0.05% is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces the production of dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that can contribute to androgenetic alopecia.

While this topical solution offers targeted treatment for these conditions, it's important to be aware of potential side effects. These may include skin irritation, dryness, and redness. To mitigate these effects, patients are advised to use a mild cleanser and moisturizer. Furthermore, sun exposure should be avoided when using this solution, and a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be used.

It's also crucial to note that this topical solution may interact with other medications, whether they are applied topically or taken orally. Therefore, patients should inform their healthcare provider of any other medications they are currently taking before starting this treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about this topical solution or its potential interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 5%/Tretinoin 0.025%/Finasteride 0.05% 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 effects of three active ingredients: Minoxidil, Tretinoin, and Finasteride.

Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, functions by enhancing blood circulation to the scalp. This increased blood flow stimulates hair follicles, promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss. Tretinoin, a topical retinoid, aids in reducing inflammation and promoting cell turnover. This action helps improve the overall health and appearance of the scalp and hair. Lastly, Finasteride, an anti-androgen, works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to contribute to hair loss.

When used in combination, these three medications create a powerful solution that not only reduces hair loss but also promotes hair regrowth. For optimal results, the solution should be applied to the scalp twice daily. Consistent use is key, as it may take several months to observe noticeable results.

Understanding the complexities of hair loss treatments can be challenging. If you have any questions or need further clarification about the Minoxidil 5%/Tretinoin 0.025%/Finasteride 0.05% Topical Solution, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are committed to helping you find the most effective treatment for your hair loss.
