Is There Any Point To Using Finasteride And Ru58841 At The Same Time?

I was using Minoxidil and nizoral to begin with then tried finasteride but quit from side effects so eventually got ru58841 and then to give myself the best chance decided too try finasteride again see if I could use it without sides. But I was thinking is there any point in using both? I'm also going to make some setipiprant

there is definitely a point, in theory at least. Finasteride only blocks so much DHT in the scalp tissue, which means the DHT available can still bind to the receptors. Also, finasteride may increase testosterone, which can also bind to receptors in the follicle. RU works to bind to and block these receptors, so the leftover DHT cannot bind and cause miniaturization. This is all in theory of course. I am on f*cking dutasteride and RU and im just losing more hair.

I'm glad there's a point, I did read something similar but I didn't know if just Ru alone would be enough. But it sounds like it is a good idea to use both? I'm guessing it'd be even cheaper if I could get on dutasteride, I have no idea how you're losing hair on both. I thought dutasteride was like 99%, maybe you're going through a shed before regrowth happens? I've also just realised finasteride doesn't last the entire day, and that works anyway because I can take finasteride in the morning and ru at night so it's been inhibitted most of the day

Yes its better. RU does not stop 100 percent of receptors from interacting with androgens. Propecia does not stop 100 percent of DHT either and raises your T which arguably converts back to DHT even if its at slower rate from less enzyme to convert. Stacking both helps cover the weaknesses.
Nothing is a perfect AA so more the better.

I normally use 100mg of ru a night in 1ml. But the next question is now I'm back on 1mg of finasteride is 100mg a night of ru too much? Should I make a 50mg solution instead?
