Your prescribing physician and pharmacy label determine your dose. The typical directions for this product are to apply 1 mL to a dry scalp nightly. It contains dutasteride 0.1% and minoxidil 7%. Do not change the amount or schedule on your own, even if you have used a different hair treatment before.
A licensed physician in your state reviews your health history and decides whether this treatment is appropriate. Tell them about scalp problems, heart conditions, low blood pressure, and all medicines you use. This solution is compounded by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and is not FDA-approved.
Use the measuring device supplied by the pharmacy. If the label differs from the directions on this page, follow the label and ask the pharmacy or prescribing physician to explain. Do not estimate the dose with a household spoon or add extra doses. Using more can increase exposure and side effects without ensuring more hair growth. Results vary.
