Hair Restoration Formulations Built for Your Patients
Hair Restoration Compounding Solutions Your patients are not getting what they need from commercial hair loss products.
Commercial minoxidil and finasteride products come in fixed concentrations designed for the broadest possible patient population. That is not the same as designed for your patient. A patient who has not responded to standard-strength minoxidil may need a higher concentration. A patient with scalp sensitivity may need a different vehicle. A patient whose hair loss has a hormonal component may need a combination formulation that no single commercial product provides. When off-the-shelf fails, the clinical path forward is a compounding pharmacy with a serious hair restoration preparation range.
Pharmacy Solutions works with dermatologists, hair restoration specialists, men’s health providers, functional medicine practitioners, medspa providers, plastic surgeons, and primary care physicians managing androgenetic alopecia and other forms of hair loss to prepare patient-specific topical and oral compounds tailored to each individual prescription. We have been compounding for prescribers for more than 30 years. Our PCAB-accredited team works directly from your prescription to prepare the formulation, strength, and delivery vehicle your clinical judgment requires, for the specific patient you are treating.

Where Commercial Hair Loss Options Fall Short for Your Patients
Standard commercial hair loss products were not built to solve the full range of presentations that prescribers see in clinical practice. Common scenarios where hair restoration providers turn to Pharmacy Solutions include:
- Patients who have not responded to standard commercial minoxidil concentrations and require higher-strength topical formulations
- Patients with scalp sensitivity or documented intolerance to propylene glycol or other inactive ingredients in commercial solutions
- Patients requiring a combination of active ingredients, such as minoxidil and finasteride in a single topical application, that no commercial product provides
- Women and hormonally complex patients whose hair loss has a hormonal component requiring a formulation that addresses multiple contributing factors in a single preparation
- Medspa and hair restoration clinic providers seeking consistent, professionally compounded topical preparations
- Patients who prefer a shampoo vehicle for easier application and improved compliance
Why Hair Restoration Prescribers Choose Pharmacy Solutions Hair restoration is a specialty where patient compliance is closely tied to preparation tolerability and ease of use. A prescription your patient cannot tolerate or will not use consistently is not a functional clinical option. The pharmacy you choose to prepare that compound determines whether the formulation actually matches the patient rather than asking the patient to adapt to a commercial standard.
- PCAB-accredited in both sterile and non-sterile compounding, placing us among fewer than 2% of compounding pharmacies in the United States to hold this independent quality credential.
- All active pharmaceutical ingredients are sourced exclusively from FDA-registered suppliers.
- Non-sterile preparations are compounded in our ISO-classified lab in compliance with USP standards. Our facility maintains full USP compliance for hazardous drug handling as applicable.
- Multiple different bases for unique patient circumstances.
- Pharmacists with specific depth of knowledge in minoxidil vehicle science, penetration-enhancer considerations, combination stability, and the hormonal support formulation questions that come up across male and female hair restoration prescribing.
- Direct pharmacist access for clinical questions before you prescribe, with no queue and no callback from a technician.
What the Partnership Looks Like Day to Day
A compounding relationship in hair restoration should keep your patients supplied with consistent, correctly compounded preparations and keep administrative weight off your practice. Here is what working with Pharmacy Solutions looks like in practice:
- Proactive communication when something needs your attention, so your staff is not the first to hear about a preparation concern from a patient
- Nationwide patient delivery with tracking, so your patients receive compounds regardless of their location
- Full hair restoration dosing catalog available upon request before you prescribe
- Pharmacist consultation available for providers building scalp health protocols or expanding into new hair loss formulation approaches
- Consistent preparation quality and turnaround your practice can build patient protocols around
Accreditation and Quality Standards You Can Stand Behind
When you recommend Pharmacy Solutions to a patient, your name is part of that recommendation. We take that seriously.
Pharmacy Solutions holds PCAB accreditation in both sterile and non-sterile compounding and maintains full compliance with USP <795> standards for non-sterile preparations. All raw compounding ingredients are sourced from FDA-registered suppliers. These are verifiable credentials, and we are happy to walk your practice through them before you make any commitment.
More Resources for Your Health Journey
My patients who have struggled with the standard commercial options finally have something that actually fits their situation. Pharmacy Solutions gets the formulation right, ships directly to my patients, and my pharmacist is always reachable when I have a question about a combination I want to try. That kind of support makes a real difference in how I practice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Restoration Compounding for Providers
How do I submit a hair restoration prescription to Pharmacy Solutions?
Prescriptions can be submitted by phone, fax, electronically through your EMR, or through our secure online portal. A valid prescription for an individually identified patient is required for all compounded preparations. Our pharmacists are available to discuss formulation, strength, and vehicle options before you prescribe if you have clinical questions about what we can prepare.
What minoxidil concentrations do you compound above the standard commercial strength?
We prepare minoxidil topical solutions and shampoos at multiple different strengths. The appropriate strength for a given patient is a clinical determination made by the prescribing provider. Contact our pharmacists to discuss vehicle options and any combination ingredients you would like included at each concentration level.
Can you combine minoxidil and finasteride in a single topical preparation?
Yes. Minoxidil/finasteride combination solutions are among our most commonly requested hair restoration compounds. We prepare these at multiple minoxidil concentrations including 5/0.1% and 7/0.1% combinations. Additional active ingredients can be incorporated per your prescription for the individually identified patient.
Do you prepare propylene glycol-free formulations for sensitive patients?
Yes. Patients with documented sensitivity or intolerance to propylene glycol, which is present in most commercial minoxidil solutions, can often be better served with an alternative vehicle. Contact our pharmacists to discuss vehicle options that may improve tolerability for your specific patient.
Do you prepare hair loss formulations for female patients as well as male patients?
Yes. Hair loss affects both men and women, and the clinical presentations and appropriate prescription approaches differ. We prepare formulations for both patient populations per the prescribing provider’s specifications. Hormonal components such as progesterone or spironolactone can be incorporated into topical preparations for female patients as directed by the prescriber.
How do I register my practice to begin working with Pharmacy Solutions?
