Which is Better Hair Loss Treatment: Minoxidil With Retin-A or Without Retin-A?

November 9th, 2009

Q: Is using Minoxidil combined with Retin-A better than regular Minoxidil for Hair Loss?

A: Minoxidil has been prescribed (off-label) in combination with other medications, such as topical retinoic acid (Retin-A), to enhance its penetration into the skin and thus increase its effectiveness. This combination of medications, however, can significantly increase the absorption of minoxidil into the bloodstream and may increase the risk of potential side effects.
