Two mechanisms in one capsule
Finasteride blocks DHT while low-dose oral minoxidil extends the follicle's growth phase, combined so you take one capsule instead of two prescriptions.
No scalp routine
Everything works from the inside. No foams, no solutions, no waiting for a topical to dry.
Low-dose minoxidil
At 1 mg, the oral minoxidil dose is kept low, intended to limit the systemic effects seen at higher doses.

About Minoxidil 1mg / Finasteride 1.25mg
Your provider prescribes this combination because it works on hair loss through two separate pathways at once. Oral minoxidil relaxes blood vessels throughout your body, which extends how long each follicle stays in its active growth phase. Finasteride, dosed at 1.25mg rather than the standard 1mg, blocks the conversion of testosterone into DHT, which lowers serum DHT by roughly 75 to 80 percent. No dedicated clinical trial has tested this specific oral pairing. What your provider is relying on instead is strong evidence on each ingredient individually, plus results from the topical minoxidil-finasteride combination, and we think you deserve to know that distinction up front.
- One daily capsule instead of managing two separate hair-loss prescriptions
- Finasteride at 1.25mg, lowering serum DHT by roughly 75 to 80 percent
- The most direct dual-mechanism oral option currently offered for men
- Built from strong individual-component evidence, disclosed honestly where combination-specific data doesn't yet exist
Finasteride lowers DHT
It blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, the hormone behind male pattern loss.
Minoxidil extends growth
Low-dose oral minoxidil supports blood flow and a longer active growth phase.
Follicles hold and grow
Less DHT pressure and more growth-phase support act on the same follicles.

What the research shows
Oral finasteride and oral minoxidil have each been studied for hair loss. Here is what that research found.
+138 hairs
Finasteride 1 mg added 107 to 138 more hairs than placebo in a 5.1 cm2 area of the scalp over 1 to 2 years in 1,553 men.
Kaufman et al., J Am Acad Dermatol 1998
634 patients
A review of 17 studies and 634 patients found low-dose oral minoxidil an effective, well-tolerated option for people who struggle with topical treatment.

What to expect
Most people notice visible change between eight and twelve weeks, with results continuing to build toward a peak around twelve to eighteen months, a timeline consistent with what's documented for each component and for the topical combination. From minoxidil, your file may show a faster resting heart rate, fluid retention, hair growth in unexpected places, blood pressure shifts, or temporary shedding when you start. From finasteride at this 1.25mg dose, decreased libido or erectile difficulty shows up in roughly 1 to 2 percent of men, a rate slightly higher than what's reported at the standard 1mg dose.
- Weeks 1 to 4
Start your capsule
Begin your once-daily dose after your provider confirms your prescription. Early shedding can occur and is normal.
- Weeks 8 to 12
First visible change
Many men first notice less shedding and early regrowth in this window. Keep taking it daily.
- Months 4 to 6
Density builds
Thinning areas continue to fill in as more follicles shift into active growth.
- Months 12 to 18
Peak effect
Results generally build toward a peak in this range and are maintained with continued daily use.
Safety and side effects
This product is compounded by a licensed pharmacy and is not FDA-approved. It has not undergone FDA review for safety or efficacy. It's absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy and in anyone with active cancer. Before confirming this combination, your provider also wants to know about any baseline erectile difficulty, kidney or liver function concerns, a prior episode of pericarditis, and whether your blood pressure runs uncontrolled, since any of those can shift whether this regimen is the right fit for your file.
Common
- Decreased libido or erectile difficulty
- Increased body or facial hair from minoxidil
- Fluid retention or mild swelling
- Temporary increased shedding when starting
Less common
- Faster resting heart rate
- Lightheadedness or blood pressure changes

Seek care

This is not a complete list of side effects. This capsule is compounded by a US-licensed pharmacy. Finasteride is not for use by women and is dangerous in pregnancy, where it can harm a developing male fetus. Oral minoxidil can affect heart rate and fluid balance, so tell your provider about any heart or blood pressure conditions and every medication you take before starting.
