Finasteride + Minoxidil Scalp Solution

Apply the directed amount to a dry scalp once daily, spreading across thinning areas; wash hands afterwards

Finasteride is FDA approved for male pattern hair loss as a 1 mg tablet, and minoxidil is approved for hair regrowth as a topical solution. This combined scalp solution is compounded, so the combination itself has not been reviewed by the FDA.

Tell your care team straight away if you get depression or thoughts of harming yourself, breast lumps or pain or discharge, sexual side effects that persist, a rash or swelling, or a pregnant partner handled the solution.

Common side effects

• scalp irritation
• scalp redness
• itching
• a change in hair color or texture
• unwanted facial hair growth where the solution spreads

Rare but serious

• depression and suicidal thoughts, reported with finasteride
• reduced libido, erectile dysfunction or ejaculation problems, which can persist
• chest pain, a fast heartbeat, faintness or dizziness, reported with minoxidil

Do not take this if you are pregnant or may become pregnant, or your scalp is broken, inflamed or infected.
