Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical lotion containing Minoxidil 10% and Finasteride 0.1%. This unique formulation is designed to address a range of conditions, including male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and androgenetic alopecia. The lotion is a liquid or semi-liquid formulation intended for external application to the skin. It provides a smooth and spreadable consistency, offering moisturizing, soothing, or therapeutic effects for specific skin conditions, while promoting absorption of active ingredients for localized treatment.

Minoxidil, a key ingredient in this formulation, is a vasodilator that functions by enhancing blood flow to the scalp, thereby stimulating hair growth. On the other hand, Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that operates by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to cause hair loss.

The combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride in this formulation has demonstrated effectiveness in treating male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and androgenetic alopecia. It's crucial to understand that this formulation does not cure these conditions, but rather serves as a treatment that can help slow down or halt hair loss and promote hair regrowth.

If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment option tailored to your individual needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Lotion is a compounded formulation specifically designed for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness, in adult men and women. It is not recommended for use in children. The lotion is intended for external application to the scalp, particularly to the areas affected by hair loss. It should be applied twice daily for optimal results.

Patients should be aware that this formulation is not to be used in conjunction with other topical treatments for androgenetic alopecia. It is also important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth when applying the lotion. The formulation is designed to promote absorption of the active ingredients directly into the skin for localized treatment.

Regular monitoring is recommended for signs of systemic absorption, which may manifest as changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and electrolyte levels. Additionally, patients should be monitored for signs of hypertrichosis, a condition characterized by excessive hair growth, and other potential adverse effects.

Patients are advised to avoid alcohol and certain medications that may interact with the Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Lotion. These include, but are not limited to, anticoagulants, antihypertensives, and diuretics. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or potential interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Lotion is a specially compounded formulation designed to address the challenges of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) and alopecia areata. This unique combination of active ingredients works synergistically to reduce hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth.

Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, functions by enhancing blood flow to the scalp. This increased circulation nourishes the hair follicles, creating an optimal environment for hair growth. On the other hand, Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, works by preventing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to contribute to hair loss. By blocking the production of DHT, Finasteride helps to halt the progression of hair loss.

The Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Lotion is designed for external application to the scalp. Its liquid or semi-liquid formulation ensures a smooth and spreadable consistency, facilitating easy application. The lotion is designed to offer moisturizing and soothing effects to the scalp while promoting the absorption of the active ingredients for localized treatment.

To use this lotion, apply a thin layer to the affected areas of the scalp twice daily, ensuring to massage it in until fully absorbed. Consistent and correct usage is key to achieving the best results. It's important to note that while this medication can significantly slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth, it is not a cure for male pattern baldness or alopecia areata. Results may take several months of consistent use to become noticeable.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Minoxidil 10%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Lotion or its application, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance to our patients.
