Description
This option covers an online provider evaluation and, if you are approved, a 30-day supply of compounded hair loss tablets for women, shipped to your door from a licensed US pharmacy.
Each once-daily tablet combines minoxidil 1 mg, spironolactone 60 mg and biotin. Low-dose oral minoxidil and spironolactone are two medications providers often consider for female pattern hair loss. Putting them in one tablet means there is nothing to apply to the scalp. Using oral minoxidil and spironolactone for hair loss is an off-label use, and the tablet is compounded to this combination by the pharmacy.
Whether this is right for you is a decision a licensed provider makes after reading your medical history and questionnaire answers. No lab work is required to be considered, and there is no office visit. You order online, a provider licensed in your state reviews your answers, and if approved the pharmacy compounds your tablets and ships them in plain packaging.
Hair loss treatment is reviewed over months rather than weeks, and your provider will tell you what to expect in your situation.
The price on this page is the price. There is no membership fee on top of it.
This service is prescription only and treatment is not guaranteed. Medication is dispensed only if a licensed provider approves you, and fulfillment is subject to pharmacy requirements. Compounded medications are not approved or evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality.

Safety and side effects
The notes below are drawn from FDA-approved labeling for minoxidil and spironolactone. Compounded medicines are not approved or evaluated by the FDA, so this describes the active ingredients rather than this specific compounded product. Neither oral minoxidil nor spironolactone is FDA-approved for hair loss, and biotin has no FDA-approved drug labeling for hair loss.
Not for use in pregnancy. Spironolactone blocks male hormones and should not be taken if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Tell your provider straight away if you become pregnant.
Spironolactone, reported effects
- Breast tenderness or enlargement
- Changes to your menstrual cycle, such as irregular periods or spotting
- Dizziness, especially on standing, and passing more urine
- High potassium levels. Avoid potassium supplements and salt substitutes unless your provider says otherwise
- Rash, itching, or swelling of the lips and face
Oral minoxidil, reported effects
- Unwanted hair growth on the face or body
- Increased shedding during the first weeks of use is commonly reported

Biotin
- Biotin can interfere with some blood tests, including thyroid and heart tests. Tell any doctor ordering blood work that you take it
Before you start, tell your provider if you have

- Addison’s disease

Common questions
Do I need insurance?
No. This is paid directly and does not go through insurance. The price on this page covers the telehealth visit, the medication if you are approved, and shipping.
Do I need lab work first?
No lab work is required to be considered for this treatment. Your provider may still ask for more information, such as recent blood work, before deciding.
What happens if the provider does not approve me?
If a provider decides treatment is not right for you, you are refunded in full.

No. This is a one-time order for a 30-day supply. You can order again whenever you need a refill.
Can I take this if I am pregnant or trying to get pregnant?
No. Spironolactone should not be used during pregnancy. Tell your provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy.
Will the package say what is inside?
No. It arrives in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing on the outside naming the contents, the treatment, or the condition.
