How do I apply Topical Finasteride + Minoxidil to my scalp at night?

Start with a dry scalp. Part your hair so the solution can reach the areas your physician told you to treat. Measure the prescribed amount with the device supplied or recommended by the pharmacy. Typical directions are 1 mL nightly, but follow your prescribing physician’s instructions and the pharmacy label.

Apply the solution to the scalp rather than soaking the hair. Avoid your eyes, mouth, and other skin areas. Do not apply it to cuts, a sunburn, or an irritated scalp unless your physician says to do so. Wash your hands with soap and water after applying it.

Let the solution dry fully before going to bed, wearing a hat, or allowing someone to touch the treated area. Follow the label for how long to wait before washing your scalp or swimming. Ask the pharmacist if the label does not give these details.

Avoid transferring the medicine to other people. Anyone who is pregnant or could become pregnant should not handle the solution or touch a wet treated scalp because finasteride exposure may harm a fetus.
