Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Testosterone 5% Scalp Lotion is a specially compounded formulation designed to address specific skin conditions such as male pattern baldness and androgenic alopecia, which are often associated with low testosterone levels. This liquid or semi-liquid formulation is intended for external application to the scalp, providing a smooth and spreadable consistency that promotes the absorption of the active ingredient, testosterone, through the skin.

This method of application ensures that the active ingredient is absorbed directly into the affected area, providing targeted relief and promoting hair growth.

Testosterone 5% Scalp Lotion is a appropriate treatment for male pattern baldness and androgenic alopecia. However, it is important to note that this formulation is not recommended for use in women or children.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
