Hi gourmetstylewellness.com Members,
My clinic is planning on offering a physician-prescribed hair loss solution that you can order online, and I wanted to get input from members of this forum since I know there are a lot of bright & experienced minds here, and a lot of the prescriptions that people want are either 1) not available in the US, 2) not at the dosages people want, 3) cost-prohibitive.
What would you want to see in a 'holy grail' prescription topical foam?
Here's our v1 formula (feedback welcome):
Latanoprost 0.1% (strength used in studies and not commonly available)
Finasteride 0.01% (microdosed to prevent systemic absorption, as we've documented 71% suppressed serum DHT using a stronger 0.25% topical, equivalent to the suppression seen with 1mg oral finasteride).
Minoxidil 8% (Rx strength, since 5% is readily available OTC).
Any other suggestions? (must be an ingredient that a compounding pharmacy can get from an FDA manufacturer)
I've seen the following ingredients in other custom/combination ingredients (feedback welcome):
Retinoic Acid 0.01-0.1%
Azelaic Acid 0.025%
Betamethasone 0.01%
Ketoconazole 2%
Anything else?
