How should I store my compounded Topical Dutasteride + Minoxidil solution?
Short answer
Store Topical Dutasteride + Minoxidil exactly as the pharmacy label directs, in its original container and away from children and pets. Follow its beyond-use date. Ask the pharmacy about temperature, light, or refrigeration requirements for your formula. Do not use a leaking, damaged, or changed solution until the pharmacy checks it.
The dispensing pharmacy’s label is your main guide for storage. Compounded formulas can have different needs, so do not assume instructions for another minoxidil product apply to this solution. Keep it in the original, tightly closed container, and use the supplied measuring device as directed.
Follow the labeled temperature range and any directions about light or refrigeration. Avoid storage in a hot car or a damp bathroom unless the pharmacy says those conditions are acceptable. If the label lists alcohol or a flammability warning, keep the bottle and wet solution away from flames, smoking, and heat sources.
Keep the medicine out of reach of children and pets. Do not use it past the pharmacy’s beyond-use date, even if liquid remains. Contact the pharmacy if the bottle leaks or the solution changes color, develops particles, or looks different than expected. Ask how to dispose of unused medicine safely. If someone swallows it, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222; call 911 for severe symptoms.
