How should I apply Verra's topical dutasteride with minoxidil?
Short answer
Apply topical dutasteride with minoxidil only as directed on your prescription label. The amount and schedule depend on your formula. Use it on the prescribed scalp areas, wash your hands afterward, and avoid contact with your eyes or mouth. Ask your pharmacy about drying time and missed doses.
Follow the instructions on your prescription label for the exact amount, application schedule, and scalp preparation. Compounded formulas can differ, so instructions for an over-the-counter minoxidil product may not fit your prescription. If the directions are unclear, ask the dispensing pharmacy before your first use. Do not guess the dose.
Apply only to the scalp areas your physician prescribed. Avoid your eyes, mouth, and broken or irritated skin unless your physician gives specific instructions. Wash your hands after use. Ask how long the product needs to dry before you wash your hair, put on a hat, or lie on a pillow. Keep the medication away from children and pets.
Do not double the amount after a missed dose unless your prescriber specifically tells you to. Ask before using scalp rollers, microneedling tools, or other scalp medicines, since they may change absorption or irritation risk. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved.
