Willow Hair Tablet — Women Under 45
Women • Prescription oral
Willow combines minoxidil, spironolactone and biotin in a compounded oral formula for women exploring treatment options for certain patterns of hair thinning.
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
Willow is a compounded oral combination of minoxidil, spironolactone and biotin intended for clinician-evaluated hair thinning.
The ingredients have different roles. Here is what each is used for or being studied for:
- Minoxidil — Hair Growth
- A medicine used in hair-loss care to support hair growth. When taken by mouth, it can affect blood pressure and fluid balance.
- Spironolactone — Hormonal Pathways
- Helps reduce the effects of certain hormones that may contribute to hair thinning. It can also affect blood pressure and potassium levels.
- Biotin — Nutritional Support
- A vitamin that helps normal body functions; extra biotin is most relevant when a deficiency exists.
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.
Hair changes often happen gradually. It is not possible to predict individual results from this particular compounded combination, and a provider can help evaluate other causes of thinning.
Oral minoxidil can affect blood pressure, heart rate and fluid retention, including rare serious heart complications. Spironolactone can affect potassium and kidney function. Discuss heart or kidney conditions, medicines and pregnancy plans with your prescriber.
