What are the potential side effects of Topical Finasteride with Minoxidil?

Like all medicines (even Paracetamol!), Topical Finasteride with Minoxidil can cause side effects, although clinical studies have found the risk to be significantly reduced when compared to the oral form of the medication. All of the side effects from oral Finasteride are inherently possible from the topical treatment, but are materially less likely as a result of the topical application. The most common side effects are itching and skin irritation of the treated area of the scalp. If scalp irritation continues, you should stop using the medicine and discuss your symptoms with your doctor, or our Clinical Team via [e-mail].
