Description

Men Only: Comprehensive Oral Hair Loss Compound (Minoxidil/Finasteride) – Requires Prescription & Safety Screening.

What is This Oral Hair Loss Compound?

This is a prescription medication custom-compounded by a licensed U.S. pharmacy specifically for you. Each capsule contains:

  • Minoxidil (2.5 mg – Oral): Used off-label at low doses to help stimulate hair follicles and promote growth.
  • Finasteride (1.2 mg): A 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that reduces DHT, targeting the hormonal cause of male pattern hair loss.
  • Vitamin E (400 IU): An antioxidant nutrient.
  • Biotin (10 mg / 10,000 mcg): A B-vitamin involved in keratin production.

This formulation is designed for once-daily oral use by adult men diagnosed with male pattern hair loss. Requires a comprehensive online assessment, thorough medical screening (including cardiovascular health), and a prescription by a licensed U.S. healthcare provider.

How Does It Work? A Combined Strategy

This compounded medication seeks to address male pattern hair loss comprehensively:

  • Oral Minoxidil: Works systemically (throughout the body) potentially by improving scalp blood flow and stimulating hair follicle activity (off-label use).
  • Finasteride: Directly inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT, protecting hair follicles from miniaturization caused by DHT.
  • Vitamin E & Biotin: Included as supplemental nutrients providing antioxidant support (Vit E) and a building block for hair structure (Biotin).

What Can This Compound Do For You? – Potential Benefits

For appropriate male candidates under medical supervision, consistent use may offer:

  • Multi-Mechanism Action: Simultaneously targets hormonal factors and growth stimulation pathways.
  • Potential for Robust Results: Combining active ingredients may enhance the overall effect on slowing hair loss and promoting regrowth for some individuals.
  • Ultimate Convenience: Simplifies treatment into a single daily oral capsule.
  • Effective Hair Loss Management: Aims to significantly slow shedding and potentially increase hair density over time.

Who Could Benefit? (Requires Careful Screening – MEN ONLY)

This potent, compounded oral medication should ONLY be considered for adult men who:

  • Have diagnosed male pattern hair loss and are seeking an aggressive treatment strategy.
  • May be looking for an alternative or addition to topical treatments.

(!!!) CRITICAL SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS !!!

  • Compounded, Off-Label, Prescription Only: This is a custom-compounded medication, NOT an FDA-approved drug product. Oral Minoxidil use for hair loss is off-label. Requires a prescription.
  • !!! FOR MEN ONLY !!!: Contains Finasteride. NOT for use by women or children. Pregnant women or those who could become pregnant MUST NOT handle crushed or broken capsules due to severe risk of birth defects in a male fetus.
  • !!! ORAL MINOXIDIL SYSTEMIC RISKS !!!: Oral Minoxidil can cause significant side effects affecting the whole body. These may include:
    • Fluid Retention: Swelling (edema) in ankles, feet, legs, or face. Sudden weight gain.
    • Increased Heart Rate: Tachycardia (fast heartbeat) or palpitations.
    • Low Blood Pressure Effects: Dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting.
    • Excessive Hair Growth: Unwanted hair growth on face or body (hypertrichosis) is common.
    • Cardiac Effects (Rare but Serious): May worsen angina (chest pain). Pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart) has been reported, primarily at higher doses used for blood pressure, but risk needs consideration. Inform your provider immediately of any chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, or significant swelling. Cardiovascular screening is essential before starting.
  • FINASTERIDE RISKS: May cause sexual side effects (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems) in some men. Potential for mood changes (e.g., depression). Affects Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels – inform all doctors you are taking finasteride before PSA testing. See full Finasteride safety information.
  • BIOTIN LAB INTERFERENCE: High-dose Biotin (10 mg) can interfere with many lab tests, potentially leading to incorrect results (e.g., thyroid function tests, troponin levels for heart attack diagnosis, hormone tests). Inform ALL healthcare providers and laboratory staff that you are taking high-dose Biotin BEFORE any blood tests.
  • RESULTS & CONTINUOUS USE: Results typically take 3-6+ months of daily use. Treatment must be continuous to maintain any benefits; hair loss will likely resume within months if stopped.
  • CONTRAINDICATIONS/PRECAUTIONS: Do not use if allergic to any ingredients. Inform provider of ALL medical conditions, especially heart disease (heart failure, recent heart attack, arrhythmias), low blood pressure, kidney disease, liver disease. Provide a complete list of ALL medications/supplements.
