Yes. Eflornithine 12% is prescription-only. It's not available over the counter, and the Eflornithine 12% formulation cannot be purchased directly without clinician evaluation.
You don't need to bring a prescription with you to start. Submit your Oana medical intake, and if Eflornithine is appropriate for your case, your Oana clinician will write the prescription as part of approving your treatment plan. The prescription is sent electronically to Oana's partner state-licensed compounding pharmacy, which prepares the cream and ships it discreetly to your door.
If you've previously been prescribed Vaniqa (the FDA-approved branded version of Eflornithine) or another compounded form of Eflornithine by another provider, mention this in your medical intake. Your Oana clinician will review your history and determine whether Eflornithine 12% is the right next step — or whether HairlessHype (the combination formulation) would be a better fit for your case.
