6 / 1000+ resultscommunity Targeted Follicular Finasteride Delivery: A Low-Systemic Strategy
in Research/Science 14 upvotes 3 weeks ago A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.
community Topical finasteride (P-3074) inhibits scalp DHT up to 70%
in Finasteride/Dutasteride 20 upvotes 1 month ago Topical finasteride (P-3074) can inhibit scalp DHT by up to 70%, with some users experiencing systemic absorption similar to oral use. Users discuss varying application frequencies and concentrations, with some noticing side effects when overused.
community [study analysis] Microdose of topical Finasteride for all the benefits and none of the sides?
in Research/Science 104 upvotes 5 years ago Topical finasteride as a potential alternative to oral finasteride for reducing DHT levels on the scalp with fewer side effects, and other hair loss treatments such as minoxidil.
community Phase II topical dut study - outperforms oral fin with a minor DHT reduction
in Research/Science 61 upvotes 2 months ago Topical dutasteride 0.05% is more effective for hair growth than oral finasteride 1mg, with minimal DHT reduction. The formulation uses castor oil and MCTs for better absorption but is not widely available until 2028.
community People call companies stupid for making very high concentration Topical Fin solutions but I think they overlook the fact that the actual absorption rate of finasteride varies greatly
in Finasteride/Dutasteride 13 upvotes 2 years ago The conversation discusses how the absorption rate of topical finasteride varies and is not equivalent to its oral form, with only a small percentage reaching the scalp. It also mentions that minoxidil in high concentrations is used topically because only a small amount is absorbed.
community Hydrophobic Finasteride. Why don’t we have it?
in Chat 6 upvotes 1 year ago The conversation discusses the potential benefits of creating a hydrophobic version of finasteride to reduce systemic side effects while maintaining scalp health. It compares this idea to fluridil, which is designed to be hydrophobic and has less systemic absorption.
