What it treats
Made for pattern hair loss
Widening part
More scalp showing along the part, the classic sign of female pattern hair loss.
Less volume
Hair that feels thinner overall, including around menopause.
Gradual shedding
More hair in the brush or shower that has built up over months, not sudden or patchy loss.
What's in it
The formula
Minoxidil1 mg
Lengthens the growth phase of hair follicles and enlarges shrunken ones, for thicker, fuller hair.
Spironolactone60 mg
Blocks androgens (male-type hormones) at the follicle, which drive female pattern thinning.
Compounded for each patient by a licensed U.S. pharmacy. Not FDA-approved. Your provider decides whether it is right for you.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Women with a widening part or overall thinning
- Women whose thinning came with hormonal changes, including after menopause
- Anyone who would rather take a capsule than apply minoxidil twice a day
Not for
- Pregnancy, trying to conceive or breastfeeding
- Kidney disease, high potassium, or taking potassium supplements or certain blood pressure medicines
- Sudden, patchy or scarring hair loss, which needs an in-person exam
One capsule, once a day
How to use it
- Take one capsule a day at the same time each day.
- Use reliable contraception while taking it if you could become pregnant.
- Expect extra shedding for a few weeks after starting. It usually settles by month 2 or 3. Tell your provider about dizziness, swelling or irregular periods.
What to expect
- Weeks 2-8
The shed
A temporary increase in shedding is common and usually means follicles are responding.
- Months 3-6
New growth
Less shedding and fine new hairs, often first along the part.
- Months 6-12
Fuller hair
More volume and coverage. Keep taking it to keep the results.
The evidence
Spironolactone has been used off-label for female pattern hair loss for decades. It blocks the androgen effects that shrink follicles, and dermatology reviews support it as a treatment option for women.
Low-dose oral minoxidil is also prescribed off-label, with evidence from smaller studies and clinical experience rather than large FDA trials. Combining the two pairs a growth signal with a hormone blocker in one capsule.
