Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical solution of Minoxidil 3%/Finasteride 0.25%. This unique liquid formulation is designed for external application to the skin, providing a targeted treatment for various hair loss conditions such as male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium.

The active ingredients in this formulation, Minoxidil and Finasteride, work synergistically to combat hair loss. Minoxidil, a vasodilator, enhances blood flow to the scalp, stimulating hair growth. On the other hand, Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to contribute to hair loss.

This potent combination of medications has demonstrated effectiveness in treating hair loss conditions in both men and women. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used by pregnant or nursing women due to the risk of birth defects.

Patients are advised to use this formulation as directed by their healthcare provider. Adherence to the prescribed instructions is essential to avoid potential side effects such as scalp irritation, dryness, and redness. It is also important to remember that results may vary from person to person, and consistent use over time is typically necessary to see noticeable improvements.

If you have any queries about this Minoxidil 3%/Finasteride 0.25% topical solution or its application in treating hair loss conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to assisting you in finding the most suitable treatment option tailored to your individual needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 3%/Finasteride 0.25% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation specifically designed for external application to the skin. This solution is primarily used for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in both men and women. It is crucial to highlight that this particular formulation is not suitable for use in children.

The combination of minoxidil and finasteride in this solution has been proven to be more effective in treating androgenetic alopecia than when each agent is used individually. Minoxidil's exact mechanism of action is not entirely understood, but it is believed to increase blood flow to the scalp and stimulate hair follicles. On the other hand, finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a process believed to be the primary cause of androgenetic alopecia.

It is essential to note that this formulation should not be used by patients with a known hypersensitivity to either minoxidil or finasteride. Furthermore, patients with a history of liver disease or severe renal impairment should also avoid using this formulation. Patients are advised to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth when applying this solution.

If you have any queries regarding the use of Minoxidil 3%/Finasteride 0.25% Topical Solution for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 3%/Finasteride 0.25% Topical Solution is a compounded formulation designed to address male pattern baldness. This liquid formulation is intended for external application to the skin, specifically the scalp, and serves as a targeted treatment for hair loss.

The solution combines two active ingredients: Minoxidil and Finasteride. Minoxidil, a vasodilator, functions by enhancing blood flow to the scalp, thereby stimulating the hair follicles. Finasteride, on the other hand, is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to contribute to hair loss. The synergistic action of these two medications helps to slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth.

To use this topical solution, patients are advised to apply a small quantity to the affected area of the scalp twice daily. Consistent use as directed is crucial for achieving optimal results. It is also important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth to prevent irritation.

Prescribers should closely monitor patients for any signs of adverse reactions, such as itching, redness, or burning at the application site. If any of these symptoms occur, patients are advised to discontinue use of the solution and immediately contact their healthcare provider.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Minoxidil 3%/Finasteride 0.25% Topical Solution, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to provide the necessary support and guidance.
