How do I apply Topical Dutasteride + Minoxidil to my scalp?

Follow your prescribing physician’s instructions and the pharmacy label for every application. The typical directions are 1 mL to a dry scalp nightly. Part your hair and place the measured solution on the scalp areas your physician told you to treat, rather than mainly coating your hair.

Keep the solution away from your eyes, mouth, and other body areas. Do not apply it to broken, sunburned, infected, or irritated skin unless your physician specifically directs you to. Wash your hands well after applying it. Let the treated scalp dry fully before lying down, wearing a hat, or allowing skin contact with another person.

Ask the pharmacy how long to wait before washing your hair or using styling products. Drying and washing instructions can depend on the compounded formula. Avoid transferring the solution to children or anyone who is pregnant or may become pregnant. Dutasteride exposure can harm a developing fetus. If accidental exposure occurs, wash the exposed skin and contact a healthcare professional for advice.
