Topical Minoxidil and Finasteride is a 2-in-1 spray that combines two ingredients clinically proven to aid in hair growth. It offers an alternative to hair transplant procedures in treating hair loss in men with this solution on hand.
The combined topical Finasteride and Minoxidil works by reducing hormonal changes in the scalp that shrink hair follicles. This shrinkage is what leads to many men experiencing conditions like male pattern baldness or hair loss (androgenetic alopecia).
The additional promotion of blood flow in the scalp encourages hair regrowth so long as the topical solution is continuously used.
Who can use Finasteride & Minoxidil Topical Solution?
Do not use the Minoxidil and Finasteride combination if you:
- Are not a man
- Are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Are under 18 years of age or older than 65
- Using other topical Minoxidil solutions
- Experience an allergic reaction or scalp irritation when using topical Finasteride and Minoxidil
- Have a history of prostate or breast cancer
- Have chronic liver disease
- Are currently taking oral Finasteride or any other medications in the same class (5-alpha reductase inhibitors: dutasteride, Avodart®, Jalyn®)
How to use Finasteride & Minoxidil Topical Solution?
Topical Finasteride and Minoxidil must be prescribed for use by a trusted healthcare provider, dermatologist, or hair transplant specialist. Your Gro Clinics’ practitioner will be able to inform you how to use the topical solution best for your hair growth.
Step 1: Spray
Spray the topical Finasteride and Minoxidil combination on areas of the scalp experiencing balding or thinning hair. The exact dosage will be determined by your Gro Clinic practitioner.
Do not use it more than once a day. The rate and thickness at which you regrow hair will not be improved. Rather, side effect risks can increase.
Step 2: Rinse
Always wash your hands with soap after applying this medication. If anyone else comes into contact with the topical solution, especially women or children, they should also wash the site of contact thoroughly.
Step 3: Maintain
Do not wash your hair after application of the topical treatment.
To maintain new hair growth rates and to strengthen your existing hair, regularly apply in accordance to your tailored prescription plan. In 3-6 months, results will become noticeable.
Stopping the treatment may result in the male pattern hair loss beginning again.

What are the ingredients?
This Minoxidil and Finasteride solution contains:
- Minoxidil: One of the main ingredients in this prescriptive haircare product, Minoxidil targets hair follicles to stimulate growth for both men and women.
- Finasteride: A synthetic compound that works as a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, Finasteride blocks the main chemical causes of hair loss in androgenic alopecia.
- Propylene Glycol: When added to haircare products, propylene glycol helps the hair to retain moisture. This prevents breakage and keeps the hair healthier. Additionally, propylene glycol distributes the other ingredients in this topical solution equally across the scalp for more even growth.
- Citric Acid: The antioxidant properties of citric acid help to strengthen hair follicles, reducing their chance of thinning or breaking.
- Ethanol: Further hydration of the scalp and hair is provided with the addition of ethanol to Minoxidil topical solution.
