Apply a pea-sized amount of 0.025% topical finasteride solution directly to the affected scalp area once daily. Gently massage the solution into the scalp until fully absorbed.
For optimal results, apply the solution at bedtime. This allows the medication to absorb overnight without potential daytime rubbing or washing away.
Avoid contact with eyes and other mucous membranes. Wash hands thoroughly after application.
Important Note: Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions regarding dosage and application frequency. They can tailor the treatment to your individual needs and monitor its progress.
Consistency is key. Regular application is necessary to maintain therapeutic levels of finasteride in the scalp. Missing doses may reduce its efficacy.
While some users may see results within 3-6 months, others may need longer treatment periods. Patience and adherence are paramount for achieving noticeable hair growth.
Dosage variations: Different formulations exist, with concentrations varying from 0.005% to 0.1%. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor. Higher concentrations don’t necessarily translate to faster results and can increase the risk of side effects.
Storage: Store topical finasteride in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
