    TLDR The compounding pharmacy in Venâncio Aires generally follows good practices, with only the Paracetamol sample showing significant microbial growth.
    Three years ago, a study was conducted to evaluate the quality of raw materials and formulations in a compounding pharmacy in Venâncio Aires. The study collected and tested 10 samples of raw materials and 10 samples of their respective formulations for the presence of various microorganisms. Significant microbial growth was only observed in the Paracetamol sample, with a growth of 2.0 x104 CFU/g in the raw material sample and 2.5 x104 CFU/g in the manipulated sample. The other raw materials, Metildopa, Finasteride, Ciprofibrate, Itraconazole, Tadalafil, Lactase, Ketoconazole, Aciclovir, and Collagen, showed no or insignificant growth. The study concluded that the compounding pharmacy that provided the samples was adhering to good compounding practices.

      The user has been using minoxidil daily, finasteride three times a week, and ketoconazole 1-3 times a week for a year to treat hair loss, resulting in noticeable hair regrowth at the hairline and temples, with minor side effects like itching and dandruff. They started with minoxidil a month before the other treatments and experienced an initial shedding phase for about six weeks.

      Ketoconazole shampoo is primarily for scalp health and reducing inflammation, not hair regrowth. Combining ketoconazole with finasteride can yield similar results to using minoxidil and finasteride together.
