Important Safety Information

Important Safety Information

Topical finasteride + minoxidil spray is intended for use by MEN ONLY and should NOT be used by women or children.
Read this patient information before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.
Topical finasteride + minoxidil spray is a prescription medication used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). It is a treatment alternative to oral finasteride that has been shown in research studies to be safe and effective. Unlike oral finasteride, topical finasteride + minoxidil spray is a compounded product and has not been approved by the FDA. It is only available if prescribed after an online consultation with a medical provider through the Hims platform. The use of topical finasteride to treat hair loss has not been as comprehensively studied as oral finasteride. While research has shown that serum DHT levels decrease while using topical finasteride, the systemic side effects (e.g., sexual dysfunction) typically associated with oral finasteride were not reported in the studies of topical finasteride.
Do not use other topical minoxidil products while you are using the Topical finasteride 0.3% + minoxidil 6% spray.
Do not allow individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, individuals who have the potential to become pregnant, or children handle this medication. Do not allow any of these individuals to come into contact with the treatment site (your scalp) after the medication has been applied. If they do, they should immediately clean the site of contact on their skin with soap and water.
What should I tell my healthcare provider before using topical finasteride + minoxidil?
  • If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding
    • Topical finasteride + minoxidil spray should not be used or handled by individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, individuals who have the potential to become pregnant, or individuals under the age of 18.

    • Know the medications you take. Keep a list of them to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medication.
Who should not use topical finasteride + minoxidil?
Do not use topical finasteride + minoxidil if you:
  • are currently taking oral finasteride for hair loss or for treatment of an enlarged prostate (Propecia®, Proscar®). Oral finasteride and topical finasteride + minoxidil spray cannot be used at the same time
  • are currently taking other medications in the same class as finasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitors: dutasteride, Avodart®, Jalyn®)
  • are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or may become pregnant due to the possibility of absorption of finasteride and the subsequent potential risk to a male fetus
  • are breastfeeding
  • are allergic to any of the ingredients of topical finasteride + minoxidil
  • have chronic liver disease
  • have a history of breast cancer
  • have a history of prostate cancer
  • are younger than 18 years of age
What are the possible side effects of topical finasteride + minoxidil spray?
The most common side effects of topical finasteride + minoxidil spray typically occur at the site of medication application (scalp). These side effects include:
  • Itching
  • Redness
  • Irritation
  • Burning sensation

These are not all of the possible side effects of topical finasteride + minoxidil spray. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
How do I use the topical finasteride + minoxidil spray?
  • Use this medication exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to use it.
  • Do not use this medication more than once a day as it will not improve results and can increase the risk of side effects.
  • Wash your hands with soap immediately after applying this medication to your scalp.
What should I do if this medication gets on my face?
There is the potential for hair growth to occur on any skin that this medication comes into contact with after repeated use. For this reason, only apply the topical finasteride + minoxidil spray to the scalp, and carefully blot any excess to avoid it running onto your face. If it does get on your face, clean off the medication with gentle soap and water.
How should I store the topical finasteride + minoxidil spray?
  • Store this medication at room temperature between 59˚F to 86˚F (15˚C to 30˚C).

Important Safety Information

Do not take Escitalopram if you:
  • are allergic to Escitalopram, or any of the ingredients in Escitalopram
  • take any medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), or if you have stopped taking an MAOI in the last 14 days
  • also take pimozide (Orap) or citalopram (Celexa)
  • are drinking alcohol
  • are using or abusing recreation drugs or prescription medications
Escitalopram can cause serious side effects. Rarely reported side effects include:
  • increased bleeding (gums)
  • low sodium blood levels (symptoms may include headache, weakness and difficulty remembering or concentrating)
  • teeth grinding
  • seizure
  • angle closure glaucoma (symptoms of angle closure glaucoma may include eye pain, changes in vision, swelling or redness in or around eye)
  • serotonin syndrome (symptoms may include shivering, diarrhea, confusion, severe muscle tightness, fever, seizures, and death)
Before you take Escitalopram, tell your healthcare provider if you:
  • have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself
  • have a history of psychiatric or medical problems, including bipolar disorder
  • have taken any medication in the past for your condition, whether effective or not
  • have suffered adverse or side effects from previous medication therapies
  • are receiving any non-medication treatment, such as talk therapy
  • drink alcohol or use/abuse recreational or prescription drugs
  • are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbal supplements, and recreational drugs.
Escitalopram may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect the way Escitalopram works, causing side effects. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take any of the following:
  • aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. ibuprofen, naproxen)
  • warfarin, and other anticoagulants
  • any other serotonergic medications, migraine medications (triptans), pain medications, antibiotic linezolid, amphetamines
During treatment with this medication, the side effects of this medication may go away as your body adjusts to the medication. The most common side effects of Escitalopram: headache, nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, increased sweating, feeling nervous, restless, fatigued, sleepy or having trouble sleeping (insomnia). Sexual side effects, such as problems with orgasm or ejaculatory delay often do not diminish over time.
Escitalopram is a prescription medicine used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). (May also be helpful when prescribed “off-label” for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.)
If you miss a dose of Escitalopram, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed.
Do not abruptly stop taking Escitalopram even when you feel better. Abruptly stopping can cause withdrawal symptoms including: vomiting, irritability, dizziness, headaches, sensation of tingling skin, or nightmares.
Sleep, energy, or appetite may show some improvement within the first 1-2 weeks. Improvement in these physical symptoms can be an important early signal that the medication is working. Depressed mood and lack of interest in activities may need up to 6-8 weeks to fully improve.
Patients, their families, and caregivers should be alert to the emergence of anxiety, restlessness, irritability, aggressiveness and insomnia. If these symptoms emerge, they should be reported to the patient’s prescriber or healthcare professional. All patients being treated with antidepressants for any indication should watch for and notify their healthcare provider for worsening symptoms, suicidality and unusual changes in behavior, especially during the first few months of treatment.
If you no longer need your medication, the best way to dispose of most types of old, unused, unwanted, or expired medicines (both prescription and over the counter) is to drop off the medicine at a drug take back site, location, or program immediately. You can use the DEA DIVERSION CONTROL DIVISION LOOKUP to find your nearest drug disposal site.
If no drug take back sites, locations, or programs are available in your area, and there are no specific disposal instructions (such as flushing) in the medication guide or package insert, you can follow these simple steps to dispose of most medicines in your trash at home:
  • Mix medicines (liquid or pills; do not crush tablets or capsules) with an unappealing substance such as dirt, cat litter, or used coffee grounds;
  • Place the mixture in a container such as a sealed plastic bag;
  • Throw away the container in your trash at home; and
  • Delete all personal information on the prescription label of empty medicine bottles or medicine packaging, then trash or recycle the empty bottle or packaging.

Important Safety Information

COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adults with an initial body mass index (BMI) of:
  • >27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight or obesity)
Limitations of Use:
  • Co-administration with other COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE-containing products or any GLP-1 receptor agonist is not recommended.
  • The safety and efficacy of coadministration with other products for weight management have not been established.
  • COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: RISK OF THYROID C-CELL TUMORS See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.
  • In rodents, SEMAGLUTIDE causes thyroid C-cell tumors in clinically relevant exposures. It is unknown whether SEMAGLUTIDE causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans as the human relevance of SEMAGLUTIDE-induced rodent thyroid C-cell tumors has not been determined
  • SEMAGLUTIDE is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Counsel patients regarding the potential risk of MTC and symptoms of thyroid tumors.
Do not take COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE if you:
  • Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2).
  • Have been diagnosed with Diabetes (Type 1 or 2)
  • Have been diagnosed with pancreatitis or history of pancreatitis
  • Have a diagnosis or history of gastroparesis - severe problems with your stomach, such as slowed emptying of your stomach (gastroparesis) or problems with digesting food
  • Have a known allergy to semaglutide/any other GLP-1 drug or any of the inactive ingredients in COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE. Inactive ingredients include: di-sodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate, sodium chloride, benzyl alcohol, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide pellets and water.
  • Have a history of suicidal attempts or active suicidal ideation
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
  • Acute Pancreatitis: Has occurred in clinical trials. Discontinue promptly if pancreatitis is suspected. Do not restart if pancreatitis is confirmed.
  • Acute Gallbladder Disease: Has occurred in clinical trials. If cholelithiasis is suspected, gallbladder studies and clinical follow-up are indicated.
  • Gastroparesis: Uncommon, but more serious, gastrointestinal adverse effect may also occur more frequently with GLP-1 receptor agonists than with other weight loss agents.
  • Hypoglycemia: Concomitant use with an insulin secretagogue or insulin may increase the risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia. Reducing the dose of insulin secretagogue or insulin may be necessary. Inform all patients of the risk of hypoglycemia and educate them on the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia.
  • Acute Kidney Injury: Has occurred. Monitor renal function when initiating or escalating doses of COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE in patients reporting severe adverse gastrointestinal reactions or in those with renal impairment reporting severe adverse gastrointestinal reactions.
  • Hypersensitivity Reactions: Anaphylactic reactions and angioedema have been reported postmarketing. Discontinue COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE if suspected and promptly seek medical advice.
  • Females and males of reproductive potential: Discontinue COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy because of the long half-life of COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE.
  • Pregnancy: May cause fetal harm. When pregnancy is recognized, discontinue COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE immediately
  • Diabetic Retinopathy Complications in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: Has been reported in trials with COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE. Patients with a history of diabetic retinopathy should be monitored. Diabetic retinopathy damages blood vessels in the retina and can scar your retina. As the scars get bigger, they can pull on your retina and detach it from the back of your eye, a serious condition called retinal detachment.
  • Heart Rate Increase: Monitor heart rate at regular intervals.
  • Suicidal Behavior and Ideation: Monitor for depression or suicidal thoughts. Discontinue COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE if symptoms develop.
  • A recent study suggested there may be a connection between semaglutide use and increased risk for a blinding eye disease called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). There isn't enough data yet to suggest patients should be concerned or should stop taking their medications. People who have diabetes are already at risk for NAION, whether they use semaglutide or not. It is premature to conclude that the association is a causal association. More research is necessary to test the hypothesis. Until then, patients should be aware of this information and make a careful, informed choice based on their individual risk profile.
Side Effects Most common side effects (incidence ≥ 5%) in adults or pediatric patients aged 12 years and older are: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, dyspepsia, dizziness, abdominal distension, eructation, hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes, flatulence, gastroenteritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and nasopharyngitis.
To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch
DRUG INTERACTIONS COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE delays gastric emptying. May impact absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. Use with caution.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
  • Pregnancy: May cause fetal harm. When pregnancy is recognized, discontinue COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE.
  • Females and Males of Reproductive Potential: Discontinue COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy because of the long half-life of COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE.

What are the most common side effects of finasteride?
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement of the breasts (reported in less than 1% of patients; typically resolves after the medication is stopped)
  • Sexual dysfunction
In clinical trials, 1.2%-1.8% of patients taking finasteride experienced sexual dysfunction side effects including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction or a decrease in the volume of ejaculation vs. 1% of those taking placebo:
  • Decreased libido 1.8%
  • Erectile dysfunction 1.3%

Several studies have documented the majority of these side effects are reversible. However, 1.4% of the patients who experience side effects may continue to have symptoms following discontinuation of Finasteride. Of particular note there has been an association of the sexual dysfunction symptoms and the use of NSAIDS (Motrin, Advil, Aleve type medications.)

There have been conflicting studies on the increased risk in the number of high grade prostate cancers; however, several recent studies have shown no increase in the number of deaths (with a recent study showing fewer deaths) in patients who use finasteride at the 1mg dosage.
