Minoxidil, Clobetasol, Tretinoin Solution

Description

This combination formulation improves hair growth for patients with particular hair loss types. Hair loss associated with inflammation responds to clobetasol as it decreases inflammation. Minoxidil improves the rate of new hair growth, while tretinoin enhances the penetration of this ingredient.

Ingredients

Minoxidil is the primary ingredient in many hair loss formulations that effectively promotes hair growth.

Clobetasol is a topical corticosteroid used for treating hair loss associated with inflammation. It is one of the most potent topical corticosteroids. It may be used for treating alopecia areata, psoriasis, and eczema.

Tretinoin may help promote hair growth and improve the penetration of other ingredients in a formulation. Increasing percutaneous absorption of a drug like minoxidil can enhance its effects.
