Product Information
Product Information
Here’s a quick breakdown of your new prescription:
Minoxidil and finasteride are two common medications used to treat hair loss. Minoxidil is a topical solution that is applied directly to the scalp, while finasteride is an oral or topical medication. Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, while finasteride inhibits the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can contribute to hair loss. Both medications have been clinically proven to be effective in treating hair loss.

How to Use & Keep Using
How to Use & Keep Using
Here’s how to use the medication
The longer you keep at it, the more success you’ll see.
Use only your prescribed dose as directed.
Minoxidil:
Easy-to-apply twice a day formula that encourages hair growth with daily use.
Apply as directed by your prescriber for optimal results. Massage lightly into the affected areas of the scalp, avoiding direct application to the hair.
Avoid direct contact with your eyes – rinse well if contact occurs
Finasteride (oral):
Take the once daily pill as directed by your prescriber for optimal results, with or without food.
It can only work over the long-term if you continue taking it.
On average, healthy hair grows only about 1 cm each month. Therefore, it will take time to see any effect. In general, daily use for three months or more may be necessary before you notice that hair growth is increased, or further hair loss is prevented.
Finasteride (topical)
Apply once daily to the scalp. Massage lightly into the affected areas of the scalp, avoiding direct application to the hair.
Avoid direct contact with your eyes – rinse well if contact occurs

Tips & Precautions
Tips & Precautions
Minoxidil:
Do not apply to a sunburned or irritated, broken, or shaved scalp.
Avoid swimming, showering or physical activity involving excessive sweating or wetting in rain for at least 4 hours after application.
It may change the texture/colour of hair.
If you miss one or two applications, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one
Finasteride:
If you miss your daily dose of finasteride, do not double up. Simply take your next dose as scheduled.
Finasteride in Women of childbearing age and Pregnancy
Finasteride is considered a teratogen, which means it can effect the after growth male sex characteristics of fetuses during pregnancy. It is possible that some finasteride may be present in sperm, when taking oral finasteride. Pregnant women and women of child bearing age should also not touch any liquid products of finasteride or any cut or crushed oral tablets.
