Your Good Life-affiliated provider may recommend the use of topical finasteride on the scalp as a treatment for hair loss, in combination with topical minoxidil and topical tretinoin as a compounded product.

The compounded treatment is for men only, and should not be used or handled by women or children.

• Your scalp is red, inflamed, infected, irritated, or painful.
• You have a known allergic reaction to topical finasteride.

How should I use the topical treatment?

Step 1: Spray it Use the spray to cover the areas on your scalp that experience hair loss, which may include the crown of the head and/or each side of a receding hairline. Do not exceed 4 sprays total. When you spray, make sure you press the sprayer firmly, all the way down.

Step 2: Massage it Once you’ve sprayed on the solution, massage it into the balding areas of the scalp. Tip your head back slightly to prevent any solution from running down your forehead.

Step 3: Remove any excess medication and wash your hands Wipe away any excess medication that may have run onto your face or down your head, and wash your hands well after you finish.

Step 4: Let it dry Let the solution dry so it can absorb properly into the scalp. You may apply the solution to wet or dry hair, but allow it to dry completely before applying other products. If you apply the solution in the morning, try not to get your hair wet before the end of the day. If you apply at night, you can wash your hair the next morning.

Avoid getting the medication in your eyes. If this occurs, rinse your eyes with large amounts of cool water. Wash your hands thoroughly after each use.
