Hi, I'm new to the forums and wasn't sure where to post this, sorry if I'm in the wrong place. I recently purchased a hair loss drug called Morr F 5% which is described as a .1 mg dose of finasteride mixed with 5% minoxidil and lipids. I have searched the forums as well as google but have found little to no info on anyone using this. I guess I'm just wondering about the authenticity of the product, its effectiveness, and safety. I have never taken oral finasteride but have heard of topical finasteride being sort of an underground success for some people. Thanks to all for your help and input!
I was taking Propecia for about 2 months when I started to get some extreme side-effects and depression so I stopped taking it, but I definitely saw gains... so I too am looking for a good topical Finasteride. I found MorrF 5% on eBay but was really skeptical about it - where did you get yours?
I found this pretty clear-cut study from 2014 on MorrF 5%
(A New Topical Formulation of Minoxidil and Finasteride Improves Hair Growth in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia) that saw great results, so assuming the product that you're taking is authentic and has the accurate cocktail described then you should have as great success as though you were taking an oral finasteride and using minoxidil.
I read this study from top to bottom. Biggest/best takeaways:
- Topical Finasteride in MorrF shows no negative significant statistical difference in results versus oral Finasteride. The only difference is that topical Finasteride shows up 10x LESS in the bloodstream than oral. Huge news for diminishing the negative side effects that many men experience.
- A significantly higher number of patients treated with MorrF showed greater improvement as compared to those treated with Minoxidil alone (64.7% in MorrF group versus 25.5% in Minoxidil alone group).
- Significantly more patients treated with MorrF showed greater improvement in photos for hair growth score as compared to those treated with Minoxidil alone (88.9% in MorrF group versus 60.0% in Minoxidil alone group)
- Majority of the patients did not have any adverse event during the trial with MorrF, clinically significant abnormalities during laboratory assessments, vital recordings, ECG recordings etc. No deaths, serious adverse events were reported during the course of the trial. Thumbs up, nobody died.
"The major side effects of oral Finasteride treatment have been found to be impotence, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders (decreased volume of ejaculate or delayed ejaculation), breast enlargement or tenderness, hypersensitivity reactions (including skin rash, pruritus, urticaria, and swelling of lips and face) and testicular pain. The decrease in the side effects by topical application may be related to lower systemic exposure (ten-fold) compared to oral administration of Finasteride. The topical formulation of Finasteride also prevents the undesirable side effects resulting from greater systemic exposure of Finasteride. With greater efficacy observed with combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride compared to Minoxidil alone, MorrF could be a good replacement of individual therapy by Minoxidil and Finasteride in patients who are more concerned about the side effects of oral Finasteride." BOOM.
Yeah, I'm going to try this. Would love to hear how your results have gone.
Thanks everybody.
