Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specialized topical solution that incorporates spironolactone 1%, finasteride 0.5%, estradiol 0.06%, and melatonin 0.05%. This unique formulation is specifically designed to address a range of dermatological conditions such as androgenic alopecia, hirsutism, and acne.

Spironolactone, an anti-androgen, functions by inhibiting the effects of androgens like testosterone in the body. This action helps to decrease sebum production, thereby alleviating acne symptoms. Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, works by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a process that can lead to symptoms of androgenic alopecia, including hair loss and thinning.

Estradiol, an estrogen, aids in reducing the symptoms of hirsutism, such as excessive hair growth. Melatonin, a hormone, plays a crucial role in regulating the body's circadian rhythm, which can help mitigate acne symptoms. This combination of active ingredients in a topical solution provides a targeted treatment approach for these dermatological conditions.

This topical solution is a convenient and versatile means of delivering medication directly to the affected area, providing an effective treatment for androgenic alopecia, hirsutism, and acne. For any queries regarding this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation is a topical solution containing spironolactone 1%, finasteride 0.5%, estradiol 0.06%, and melatonin 0.05%. It is a liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin, offering a versatile method of delivering medication and therapeutic agents for targeted treatment of various dermatological conditions.

The solution is indicated for the treatment of androgenic alopecia, hirsutism, and acne. Spironolactone, an aldosterone antagonist, works by blocking the action of androgens, hormones that can cause hair loss, hirsutism, and acne. Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that can cause hair loss. Estradiol, a form of estrogen, also blocks the action of androgens, helping to reduce hirsutism and acne. Melatonin, a hormone that regulates the body's circadian rhythm, can help reduce the symptoms of androgenic alopecia.

It is crucial to be aware of potential drug interactions when using this topical solution. Spironolactone may interact with medications such as diuretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and potassium-sparing diuretics. Finasteride may interact with antifungals, antibiotics, and certain blood pressure medications. Estradiol may interact with anticoagulants, certain antibiotics, and certain antidepressants. Melatonin may interact with certain antidepressants, certain anticonvulsants, and certain antihistamines.

Common side effects of this topical solution may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and headache from spironolactone; decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased ejaculate volume from finasteride; nausea, breast tenderness, and headache from estradiol; and headache, dizziness, and nausea from melatonin. If you have any questions about this topical solution, its potential interactions, or side effects, please consult with a healthcare professional.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation is a topical solution that combines four active ingredients: Spironolactone 1%, Finasteride 0.5%, Estradiol 0.06%, and Melatonin 0.05%. Each ingredient plays a unique role in addressing various dermatological conditions. Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates the balance of salt and water in the body. Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can contribute to conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Estradiol, a form of estrogen, helps regulate the menstrual cycle and other reproductive processes. Lastly, Melatonin, a hormone that regulates the body's sleep-wake cycle, is also included in this formulation.

This unique combination of active ingredients is designed to treat a variety of conditions. It can be used to address androgenetic alopecia, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), acne, and seborrhea (oily skin). It is also effective in treating androgen-dependent alopecia in women. The versatility of this topical solution makes it a convenient option for targeted treatment of these conditions.

To use this topical solution, it should be applied as a thin layer to the affected area once daily. It is crucial to follow the usage instructions and not exceed the recommended dosage to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and avoid potential side effects. If you have any questions about how to use this formulation, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.
