Description
This option includes a provider evaluation for patients seeking compounded male hair loss treatment containing finasteride and minoxidil, followed by medication shipping when deemed appropriate. These medications may be used in men’s health settings and are often discussed for their potential role in hair preservation and growth support. A licensed provider reviews the patient’s medical history, questionnaire responses, and relevant risk factors to determine whether treatment may be appropriate. If approved, medication is compounded and shipped directly to the patient. Treatment is not guaranteed and is subject to provider discretion.

What to expect
- You complete a medical questionnaire when you order.
- A licensed provider reviews your history and your answers. They may approve you, decline, or come back with questions.
- If approved, your prescription goes to a licensed US compounding pharmacy, which fills it and ships it to you.
- Your provider chooses the formulation and strength. It is not something you select, and it is not the same for everyone.
This male hair loss treatment is a topical foam applied to the scalp. Depending on the formulation your provider selects, it contains finasteride and minoxidil, and in one option ketoconazole as well.
Hair loss treatments are generally reviewed over a period of months rather than weeks. Your provider will tell you what to expect in your situation.
Safety and side effects
The notes below are drawn from FDA-approved labeling for finasteride and minoxidil. Compounded medicines are not approved or evaluated by the FDA, so this describes the active ingredients rather than this specific compounded product.
Finasteride and pregnancy. Women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should not handle this medication. Finasteride can cause abnormalities in the genitals of a male fetus. Store it out of reach and avoid skin contact with anyone who could be pregnant.
Finasteride, reported effects
- Reduced sex drive, difficulty getting or keeping an erection, and a reduced amount of semen
- Breast tenderness or enlargement. Tell your provider about any breast lump, pain, or discharge
- Rash, itching, hives, or swelling of the lips and face
- Some men have reported sexual side effects that continued after stopping. Depressed mood has also been reported
- Finasteride lowers PSA readings. Tell any doctor ordering a PSA test that you take it
Minoxidil, reported effects
- Itching, dryness, flaking, or irritation where it is applied
- Unwanted hair growth if it spreads to skin you did not intend to treat
- Increased shedding during the first weeks of use is commonly reported
- Rarely: dizziness, fast heartbeat, chest pain, swelling of the hands or feet, or sudden unexplained weight gain. Stop and contact a provider
Before you start, tell your provider if you have
- Liver problems
- Prostate cancer or an abnormal PSA result
- Low blood pressure, or any heart condition
- A scalp condition, or broken or irritated skin on the scalp
Get emergency help for signs of a serious allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or trouble breathing.
