Does isopropyl alcohol kill or denature minoxidil and finasteride?

January 11, 2021
Asked By:HunterMinoxidil in Boise, ID

I was mixing topical finasteride and topical minoxidil for ease of use. I added some isopropyl (about a small capful) alcohol thinking it was ethyl alcohol. Will this ruin my mixture? Or is it just essentially the same thing but with some anti microbial properties too? Thank you
