How should I apply Topical Spironolactone + Minoxidil to my scalp?

Follow your prescribing physician’s instructions and pharmacy label each time you apply this medication. The typical directions are 1 mL to a dry scalp nightly. Part your hair so the medication reaches the scalp areas your physician told you to treat, rather than coating the hair itself.

Use the supplied measuring device. Avoid your eyes, mouth, and other areas of skin. Do not apply it to a cut, sunburned, infected, or very irritated scalp unless your physician specifically directs you to do so. Wash your hands after applying it.

Let the medication dry fully before lying down, covering your head, or allowing skin contact with another person. Follow the pharmacy’s instructions about when you may wash your hair or use styling products. Ask the pharmacist if those instructions are missing.

Keep children and pets away from the medication, spills, and treated skin. Minoxidil can be very harmful to pets. If accidental exposure occurs, contact a medical professional or veterinarian promptly. Never swallow this medication.
