The main difference between topical and oral medications is the potential of experiencing side effects, and the routine of applying the topical twice daily vs. taking one pill per day. Oral medications are taken through the digestive system which gets absorbed into your body before reaching hair follicles. Because of this, oral medications can have a higher chance of side effects. Topical medications are absorbed directly at the scalp, so less of the medication reaches the rest of the body, lowering the risk of side effects. It’s important to note that our topical & oral options are made to provide equivalent results. Based on your medical history and experiences, we’ll make sure to find the perfect solution for you.
While our proprietary topical formulas offer a much lower chance of side effects, our newest addition of a liposomal base in our TopicalRx SuperSolution™ ProBlend, Finasteride SuperSolution, and TopicalRx Beard Formula reduces that chance even further with virtually no systemic absorption. Similarly, our oral SuperCapsule + ED Performance can minimize risk of sexual side effects in men.
