I know this has probably been discussed about a million times.
But... The thing is that I am thinking about restarting propecia. I had some side effects and quit rather fast the first time, but I want to give it another try.
So I have been going through the dosage studies of finasteride, and it struck me that very low dosages of finasteride (0.05 mg) lowered scalp dht significantly. It did not lower the serum levels to the same extent, but what I am thinking is that this must be a good thing.

I am definitely no expert on this, but wouldn't low scalp DHT levels and higher serum levels be the best combo? (More hair - less sides from low serum levels??)
I might be completely wrong on the importance of serum levels. So if I am mistaken can any of the experts out there explain why low serum levels should be as important as scalp levels?
Thanks!
