How should I store Topical Spironolactone + Minoxidil?
Short answer
Store Topical Spironolactone + Minoxidil exactly as the pharmacy label directs, in its original container and out of reach of children and pets. Keep the cap tightly closed. Follow the labeled beyond-use date, and ask the pharmacist about heat exposure, refrigeration, or any change in the solution’s appearance.
The pharmacy label is your guide to storing this compounded medication. Storage needs can depend on the liquid base and container used by the pharmacy. Do not assume it needs refrigeration, and do not freeze it unless the pharmacy specifically tells you to do so.
Keep the medication in its original labeled container with the cap tightly closed. Avoid leaving it in a hot car, direct sunlight, or a damp bathroom. If the label says the liquid is flammable, keep it away from heat, sparks, and open flames during storage and use.
Follow the pharmacy’s beyond-use date. This is the date after which the compounded medication should not be used. Ask the pharmacist what to do if the liquid changes color, develops particles, leaks, or arrives after unusual heat or cold exposure.
Store it securely away from children and pets. Minoxidil can be very harmful to pets. Ask the pharmacy how to dispose of unused medication safely. Do not pour it down a drain unless specifically instructed.
