Follicle Fix Hair Solution
Prescription topical
Follicle Fix combines minoxidil and finasteride in a compounded scalp solution considered as part of a clinician-guided hair restoration plan.
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
Follicle Fix is a compounded topical formulation of minoxidil and finasteride.
The ingredients have different roles. Here is what each is used for or being studied for:
- Minoxidil — Hair Growth
- A medicine used on the scalp to help stimulate hair growth. Results can vary depending on the cause of hair thinning.
- Finasteride — Hormonal Pathways
- Helps lower DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone involved in some types of hair loss. The compounded topical mixture can still carry absorption-related risks.
This formula is intended for the scalp. Your prescribing clinician determines whether it is appropriate, provides personal instructions and reviews whether any follow-up is needed.
People may respond differently depending on the cause of their hair loss. Results and risks of this compounded mixture cannot be assumed to match approved products containing individual ingredients.
Scalp irritation may occur, and some medicine can be absorbed through the skin. Finasteride exposure is a concern during pregnancy because it may harm a developing fetus. Use only as prescribed and ask how to avoid unintended contact by others.
