Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specialized topical shampoo formulation of Minoxidil 8.5%/Finasteride 0.1%. This unique formulation is specifically designed to address various hair loss and scalp conditions, including but not limited to male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and seborrheic dermatitis.

Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator, functions by enhancing blood circulation to the scalp, thereby promoting hair growth and minimizing hair loss. On the other hand, Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, operates by preventing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a primary contributor to hair loss.

This synergistic combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride has demonstrated efficacy in treating hair loss and improving scalp conditions. The formulation is user-friendly and can be directly applied to the scalp. It is a liquid formulation specifically formulated for cleansing and conditioning the hair and scalp. It is typically used during bathing or showering, providing a lathering and rinsing action to remove dirt, oil, and impurities, while promoting healthy hair and scalp conditions.

However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding due to potential health risks. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.

If you have any inquiries about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your hair loss or scalp condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to helping you find the most suitable solution for your specific needs.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 8.5%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Shampoo is a specially formulated liquid solution designed to cleanse and condition the hair and scalp. It is a combination of two potent medications, Minoxidil and Finasteride, which are known for their effectiveness in treating hair loss in both men and women.

Minoxidil, a vasodilator, functions by enhancing blood flow to the scalp. This increased circulation stimulates hair growth by providing essential nutrients to the hair follicles. On the other hand, Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that is often associated with hair loss. When these two medications are combined, they create a powerful solution that not only reduces hair loss but also promotes hair regrowth.

It's important to understand that Minoxidil 8.5%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Shampoo is not a cure for hair loss. Instead, it is a treatment designed to slow down the progression of hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth. Consistent use of this shampoo can lead to noticeable results over time.

To use this shampoo, apply it to wet hair and gently massage it into the scalp. Allow the shampoo to sit on the scalp for at least 5 minutes before rinsing it off. For optimal results, it is recommended to use this shampoo twice daily, every day. Please note that it may take several months to see noticeable results. Also, discontinuing the use of this shampoo may reverse its effects.

If you have any questions or concerns about Minoxidil 8.5%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Shampoo, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you with your hair care needs.
