Men • Prescription oral
Cedar combines finasteride, minoxidil and biotin in a compounded oral formula intended for certain patterns of hair loss in men.
Before you choose
- Hair thinning can have more than one contributor, including genetics, hormones, age, nutrition, medications and other health factors.
- The most useful starting point is the pattern and context of the hair change, not a product name.
- Prescription options require appropriate clinical review before treatment is selected.
- Ask how the option fits your pattern of hair change, health history, current medications and longer-term plan.
Treatment Details
Cedar is a compounded oral combination of finasteride, minoxidil and biotin for clinician-evaluated men's hair loss.
The ingredients have different roles. Here is what each is used for or being studied for:
- Finasteride — Hormonal Pathways
- Lowers DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone involved in common male-pattern hair loss.
- Minoxidil — Hair Growth
- Supports hair growth through a different pathway. Oral minoxidil can affect blood pressure and the heart.
- Biotin — Nutritional Support
- Supports normal body functions, particularly when nutritional needs are not being met.
This formula is taken by mouth. Your prescribing clinician determines whether it is appropriate and reviews your health history, medication interactions and follow-up needs.
Response can vary with the cause of hair loss and individual health history. The precise combination has not been established as safe and effective through FDA review.
Finasteride may cause sexual or mood-related effects and change PSA test results. Oral minoxidil can affect blood pressure and the heart, sometimes seriously. Discuss heart health, fertility and medications with your prescriber.
