Dr. Lee says that "Theoretically" a Topical Dutasteride that is absorbed through the skin, and retains its pharmacological properties, would be effective, b/c its method of action is to block the Type 1 enzyme, which is predominant in the scalp. Whereas, finasteride only blocks the less present type II. Therefore, the question remains if delivery of Topical dutasteride is possible? Avodart's prescribing info says it IS absorbed thru the skin in a topical form:
ethanol (44mg/mL), methanol (64 mg/mL) and polyethylene glycol 400 (3mg/mL). Any thoughts? Has anyone applied this solution for 6 months?
I know Lipoxidil sells the topical dutasteride but who knows if their product is an honest compound with their alleged liposomes.
