Treat hair loss
without a clinic visit.
Prescription tablets and compounded scalp solutions for men and women, prescribed by one provider and shipped to your door. Thirteen formulations, published prices, no insurance and no membership.
You never come to the clinic.
ZYP Medical treats hair loss entirely by telehealth in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado and Arizona. You fill out an intake form, meet Josh Peterson, FNP-C by video or phone, and approved medication ships from a licensed compounding pharmacy directly to your address. There is no clinic visit, no insurance claim, and no membership fee — you pay the published price for the medication and nothing else.
Book and intake
Pick a time online and complete the hair intake. Most patients get an appointment within a day or two.
Talk to your provider
A real visit, not a questionnaire. We go through your pattern, your history, and what you are willing to take.
Medication ships
Your prescription goes to a licensed compounding pharmacy and arrives at your door. Shipping is in the price.
Adjust as you go
Text your provider directly. If something is not working or a side effect shows up, we change the plan.
Nothing visible happens for about four months.
Worth knowing before you start, because this is where most people quit.
You may shed more
Common and expected. Treatment pushes resting follicles into a new cycle, so older hairs release first.
Loss slows
Usually the first real change: less hair in the shower and on the pillow, before any visible regrowth.
Early regrowth
Fine new hairs at the hairline or crown. Easier to see in photos than in the mirror — take them monthly.
Fuller result
Density and coverage keep improving through the first year and often into the second.
These treatments control hair loss rather than cure it. If you stop, density generally returns to where it would have been within roughly six to twelve months. Individual results vary and ZYP Medical does not guarantee any specific outcome.
Seven options for male pattern loss.
Male pattern hair loss is driven by DHT shrinking the follicle over time. Every option below either lowers DHT at the follicle, extends the growth phase, or both. Start with a tablet if you want simple; start with a topical if you would rather keep the active on your scalp.

Store them out of reach and keep them in the original container. Women seeking treatment should see the section below.
Built for female pattern thinning.
Women lose hair differently — diffuse thinning across the crown and a widening part rather than a receding hairline — and it is often tied to perimenopause, postpartum change, thyroid function, or low ferritin. None of the options below contain finasteride or dutasteride.

Start with HairFemale hair loss often has a cause worth finding. Low ferritin, thyroid disease, PCOS and postpartum change all present as thinning and all respond to treating the cause. We check labs before assuming it is genetic — treating the wrong thing wastes months.
Add-ons that work either way.
Neither of these blocks a hormone, so both are prescribed alongside anything above.

Straight answers.
Can I get hair loss medication without seeing a doctor in person?
Yes. ZYP treats hair loss entirely by telehealth across Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado and Arizona. You complete an online intake, meet your provider by video or phone, and approved medication ships to your address. No clinic visit and no insurance required.
How much does it cost, all in?
Oral tablets are $65 per month, billed as $195 for a 90-day supply paid in full. That price includes the medication, shipping, and prescription management — nothing is added at checkout. Compounded topicals are $100 per month or $265 for 90 days. The consult is billed separately.
No membership fee, no auto-renew you have to fight, no insurance claim.
Why are the treatments different for men and women?
Male pattern loss responds to blocking DHT, which is what finasteride and dutasteride do. Those two drugs can cause birth defects and are not prescribed to women who could become pregnant.
Women are treated instead with spironolactone, which blocks androgen receptors at the follicle, plus minoxidil, azelaic acid, and hormone-based topicals. Different mechanism, same goal.
Are these medications FDA approved?
The active ingredients are — finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, spironolactone and tretinoin are all FDA-approved drugs. The compounded combinations are not. Compounded formulations are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies, are not FDA-approved as finished products, and are prescribed off-label when clinically appropriate.
Where a commercially available FDA-approved product is suitable for you, we will say so.
I noticed more shedding after starting. Should I stop?
Usually the opposite. Shedding in weeks 2 through 8 is expected and generally means the medication is working — follicles are being pushed into a new growth cycle, so older hairs let go first. It settles.
If it is severe or lasts past two months, text your provider and we will look at it.
What happens if I stop?
Hair density gradually returns to where it would have been, usually over six to twelve months. These treatments suppress an ongoing process rather than reverse it permanently. Plan on staying on something long term if you want to keep the result.
Can I combine treatments?
Often yes, and it is common — an oral tablet plus a topical, or either one plus Hair Force One if your labs show a deficiency. Combinations are decided during your visit so we can watch for overlapping actives and interactions.
Does insurance cover any of this?
Almost never. Insurers classify hair loss treatment as cosmetic. ZYP is direct-pay with published prices. We accept credit and debit cards and HSA and FSA payments.
What side effects should I know about?
Finasteride and dutasteride: sexual side effects including reduced libido or erectile difficulty in a minority of men, mood changes, and breast tenderness. Most resolve on stopping, though persistent symptoms have been reported.
Minoxidil: scalp irritation, dryness, unwanted hair growth where the solution runs, and rarely dizziness or fluid retention with oral use.
Spironolactone: menstrual changes, breast tenderness, increased urination, and elevated potassium — which is why we monitor.
Tretinoin: dryness, peeling and sun sensitivity, mostly early on.
This is not a complete list. Everything is reviewed with you before you start.
Important information
Compounded medications are not FDA approved. The formulations on this page are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies and are prescribed off-label when clinically appropriate. They contain FDA-approved active ingredients but are not FDA-approved as finished products. Commercially available FDA-approved products are considered first where suitable.
Individual results vary and are not guaranteed. Response depends on the pattern and duration of loss, genetics, hormone status, nutritional status, adherence and other factors. ZYP Medical does not guarantee any specific outcome, degree of regrowth, or timeline.
Finasteride and dutasteride are Pregnancy Category X. They can cause abnormalities in a male fetus. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must not take them or handle broken or crushed tablets. Spironolactone is also contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Treatment requires ongoing use and monitoring. Benefit is maintained only while treatment continues. Some formulations require periodic lab monitoring, and topical corticosteroids are used under supervision because of the risk of scalp atrophy with prolonged use.
Scope and states. Hair loss treatment is available by telehealth in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado and Arizona. A telehealth evaluation with a licensed provider is required before any prescription is issued, and a prescription is not guaranteed. Hair loss treatment is not covered by insurance.
This page is general health information and is not a substitute for individual medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Talk with your provider about your own situation. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
Start before there is less to save.
Hair loss treatment protects the follicles you still have far better than it revives the ones you have lost. The earlier you start, the more there is to hold on to.
