Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specialized topical lotion formulation of Spironolactone 1%/Finasteride 0.1%. This unique blend of medications is specifically designed to address a range of skin conditions, including acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and androgenic alopecia.

Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, possesses anti-androgenic properties. This means it has the ability to decrease the production of androgens, such as testosterone, within the body. On the other hand, Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that effectively blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The combination of these two medications in our topical lotion formulation results in a reduction of androgens and DHT production. This can significantly alleviate the symptoms associated with acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and androgenic alopecia.

Our Spironolactone 1%/Finasteride 0.1% topical lotion is designed for easy application directly to the affected skin area. It is a liquid or semi-liquid formulation that provides a smooth and spreadable consistency. This formulation not only offers moisturizing and soothing effects for specific skin conditions, but also promotes the absorption of active ingredients for localized treatment. It is important to note that this formulation should not be applied to broken or irritated skin.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to providing comprehensive information and guidance to ensure the safe and effective use of our compounded formulations.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Spironolactone 1%/Finasteride 0.1% Topical Lotion is a liquid or semi-liquid preparation designed for external application to the skin. It is specifically formulated to provide a smooth and spreadable consistency, offering moisturizing, soothing, or therapeutic effects for specific skin conditions. The lotion promotes absorption of active ingredients for localized treatment, making it an effective solution for a variety of skin conditions.

The lotion combines the power of two active ingredients: Spironolactone and Finasteride. Spironolactone, an anti-androgen, works by blocking the effects of androgens, such as testosterone, on the skin. This helps to reduce inflammation and sebum production, which are common causes of acne and seborrheic dermatitis. Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can cause hair loss in men and women with androgenetic alopecia.

To use this formulation, apply a thin layer of the lotion to the affected area twice daily. It is crucial to follow the recommended dosage and not to exceed it. The full effects of the medication may take several weeks to manifest, so patience and consistent application are key. As with any medication, it is important to monitor your skin's response and report any adverse reactions to your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to assist you in finding the most effective treatment for your skin condition. Remember, your health and well-being are our top priority.
