Limits of Visual Detection for Finasteride Polymorphs in Prepared Binary Mixtures: Analysis by X-ray Powder Diffraction

The safety of combining alfatradiol and fluridil with finasteride as a potential treatment for male pattern baldness, which is approved in the European Union. Other treatments such as minoxidil and RU58841 were also discussed.

The user is attempting to create a topical finasteride solution by mixing crushed finasteride pills with minoxidil but is facing solubility issues. They are unsure if the finasteride has dissolved properly and are seeking advice on whether it is safe to use and if there is a solution to the problem.

Finasteride's effectiveness and side effects may vary based on male phenotypes, with some users noting differences in response related to body and facial hair characteristics. Some users report success with lower doses, while others experience side effects, suggesting individual variability in response to the treatment.

Finasteride pills don't fully dissolve in a DIY topical solution due to fillers, resulting in residue. Users suggest shaking well before application and note that commercial solutions appear clearer.

User creates 0.1% topical finasteride solution using Alfatradiol Avixis base. Seeks help to ensure alfatradiol base dissolves finasteride.

OP is considering using Stemoxydine or the Ordinary Multi Peptide Hair Serum as a carrier for topical finasteride, avoiding minoxidil due to palpitations. They plan to crush finasteride pills into a 30 ml solution.
