Our full methodEvery price read on its own page
35 published prices for hair loss treatment across 14 programs, each read on the program's own page and dated. The newest check was October 31, 2026. A price with a required fee left out is marked and never used as a headline figure.
Five criteria, published
Price 30%, transparency 25%, care 20%, access 15% and reputation 10%, each scored 0 to 10 on written rules. Commission is not a criterion, and the order is the same whether a program pays us or not.
The safety record, searched
We searched FDA warning letters for all 14 programs (4 on record), checked each site for a LegitScript seal ID (8 show one) and searched FTC actions and lawsuits. Every plan says whether it is FDA-approved or compounded.
Is it safe and legit? The record, checked
Oral finasteride tablets are FDA-approved for male pattern hair loss. Oral minoxidil is an FDA-approved blood pressure tablet that clinicians prescribe off-label for hair loss. Topical finasteride and combination sprays are compounded and not FDA-approved; in April 2025 the FDA alerted prescribers and patients to reported side effects from compounded topical finasteride.

Plus $5.25 standard shipping per order; needs a prescription from your own clinician. The program prices include the online visit and delivery, which a cash pharmacy does not.
Is topical finasteride FDA-approved?
No. No topical finasteride product is FDA-approved; the sprays and gels these programs sell are compounded. The FDA issued an alert about compounded topical finasteride in April 2025. Oral finasteride tablets are FDA-approved.
Is oral minoxidil approved for hair loss?
Not for hair loss. Oral minoxidil is an FDA-approved blood pressure tablet; clinicians prescribe it off-label for hair loss. Topical minoxidil is sold over the counter.
Does insurance cover finasteride for hair loss?
Usually not: insurers treat hair loss as cosmetic, and the online programs are cash only. The cash price of generic finasteride is often lower than a copay.
