Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present our compounded Minoxidil 8.5%/Finasteride 0.1% Scalp Solution, a potent treatment for various scalp and hair conditions. This unique formulation combines the power of two active ingredients, minoxidil and finasteride, to create a comprehensive solution for hair loss and scalp health.

Minoxidil, a vasodilator, enhances blood flow to the scalp, stimulating hair growth by nourishing the hair follicles. Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, reduces the production of DHT, a hormone known to contribute to hair loss. The synergistic action of these two ingredients helps to mitigate hair loss and promote hair growth, providing a targeted treatment for various hair and scalp conditions.

This compounded solution is particularly effective in treating androgenic alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss in both men and women. It is also beneficial for those suffering from alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that results in patchy hair loss. Furthermore, this formulation can be used to address other forms of hair loss, such as telogen effluvium and traction alopecia.

Our Minoxidil 8.5%/Finasteride 0.1% Scalp Solution is a liquid formulation designed for topical application to the scalp. It is dispensed in a dropper bottle for precise and controlled administration, ensuring that the medication, nourishing ingredients, and therapeutic agents are delivered directly to the scalp for optimal results. This formulation not only treats scalp conditions such as dandruff, itchiness, or dryness but also provides targeted treatment for hair loss.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing our patients with high-quality compounded medications. We welcome any questions you may have about this formulation or any of our other compounded medications. Our commitment is to your health and well-being.
