Fountain Hair Restoration Solution

Fountain Vitality

• 3 min read

Your healthcare provider has prescribed this compounded topical solution to help restore and maintain healthy hair growth while supporting the overall health of your scalp. This medication combines the powerful effects of minoxidil, dutasteride, and ketoconazole to target multiple factors contributing to hair loss, including blood flow, hormone levels, and scalp condition. Consistent use is key to achieving optimal results, though you may notice some initial shedding as part of the hair growth cycle. Please follow the instructions carefully and feel free to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacy with any questions or concerns.

Medication Name

Minoxidil 6% / Dutasteride 0.1% / Ketoconazole 1.7% Compounded Topical Solution
Formulation Type: Compounded Medication

Purpose and Benefits

This compounded topical solution is designed to promote hair growth and maintain scalp health by leveraging the combined effects of:

  • Minoxidil 6%: A vasodilator that increases blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating hair growth.
  • Dutasteride 0.1%: A 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair loss.
  • Ketoconazole 1.7%: An antifungal agent that helps reduce scalp inflammation and dandruff, supporting a healthy scalp environment for hair growth.

Directions for Use

Application:

  • Apply 1 mL (approximately 2 half droppers) of the solution to the affected scalp area(s) and massage into scalp twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Instructions:

  1. Dispense the solution directly onto the scalp using the dropper.
  2. Gently massage into the scalp until fully absorbed.
  3. Do not rinse or wash your scalp for at least 4 hours after application.

Consistency:

  • For optimal results, use consistently as prescribed.

Storage Instructions

  • Store at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight.
  • Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

Common Side Effects

Patients may experience mild side effects, including:

  • Temporary redness, itching, or dryness at the application site.
  • Flaking or scaling of the scalp.
  • Increased shedding of hair during the first few weeks of use (this is a normal part of the hair growth cycle).

If side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.

Contraindications

This solution should not be used by:

  • Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to minoxidil, dutasteride, ketoconazole, or any other ingredients in the formulation.
  • Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Dutasteride is known to cause harm to a developing fetus, particularly male fetuses, and should not be used during pregnancy or when pregnancy is a possibility.
  • Patients with severe scalp irritation or open wounds.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Pregnancy Warning: This medication contains dutasteride, which is contraindicated during pregnancy. Even minimal exposure, such as through skin absorption, may pose risks to a developing fetus. Women of childbearing potential must take precautions to avoid exposure. If you become pregnant or suspect pregnancy, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare provider.
  • Black Box Warning: This compounded medication does not carry an FDA-approved black box warning as it is not an FDA-approved product. However, systemic absorption of dutasteride or minoxidil may carry risks, such as potential hormonal side effects or cardiovascular issues in rare cases.
  • Avoid Contact with Eyes: If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Systemic Absorption: Though rare, systemic absorption of dutasteride or minoxidil may cause side effects such as dizziness, headaches, or hormonal changes. Report any unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider.

Patch Testing: Conduct a patch test on a small area of skin to check for sensitivity before full application.

Special Considerations

  • Use as Directed: This is a prescription-only compounded medication. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
  • Children and Pets: Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Medical Conditions: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of heart conditions, hormonal imbalances, or skin disorders.
