Oral finasteride 1 mg is used in men within the limits of its SmPC. Topical finasteride has its own regulatory information. Oral minoxidil is used in some off-label settings, but should not be treated as an automatic substitute for lotion because its cardiovascular profile is different.<\/p>\n<p>Master formulas are also not interchangeable without knowing composition and prescription.<\/p>\n<div class=\"warning\">\n<h3>\u201cTopical\u201d does not mean zero risk<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid applying more, using on broken skin or combining preparations without knowing the total dose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"s4\">\n<h2>How to choose<\/h2>\n<p>The hair-loss pattern, sex, potential pregnancy, blood pressure, cardiovascular history, mood, sensitive skin, preferences and consistency matter.
