Did you get Formula 82M/82F in your eye?

Here's what to do!

Compounded Formula 82m prescription topical hair loss medication from Dr. Alan Bauman, MD / Bauman Medical contains minoxidil, tretinoin, fluocinolone, oleanolic acid, antioxidants and other ingredients, without propylene glycol. Compounded 82M is to be applied to the scalp twice a day for powerful hair regrowth in a solution that penetrates the scalp better, is easier to use and less greasy than rogaine. Formula 82F has the same ingredients but also contains finasteride. Formula 82M/82F are packaged with colored caps by the pharmacy to distinguish them from eye drops. Compounded Formula 82M/82F should NOT be stored anywhere near your eye drops to avoid accidental use in the eye.  Of course, these medications like all others should always be kept out of reach of children.

If placed in or around the eye, the ingredients in Formula 82M/82F can be extremely irritating and painful. Avoid rubbing your eyes or eyelids as this may be damaging to the eye. Thankfully, damage or injury from Formula 82M or Formula 82F in the eye has never been reported.
