Topical Finasteride, 82f, Has Anyone Tried It?

[Chad Stokes]

Has anyone tried Topical Finasteride, specifically 82F, and how the results have been? I'm finding little information online and the hair loss place that prescribed it for me said I'm a guinea pig because so few of their clients have tried it.

I am nervous about Oral Finasteride and meddling with my testosterone levels hence topical is my preference. I recognize it will still affect my hormones at a lower level than oral finasteride, and sadly the results will probably be less effective. I was thinking about supplementing with Saw Palmetto and dermarolling. I've been taking Oral propecia for 3 weeks and noticed minimal side effects (lower sex drive but may be placebo) and taking 82M (Rogain on steroids apparently) once a day even though they say use it twice. I'm gonna drop Propecia for 82F.

82F is expensive ($100/Bottle, which lasts 1 month) so in an effort to be cost effective I'm only using it once a day and using Rogain in the evenings. Lemme know if you see any red flags with that.

Thanks ya'll!

Where did you get a prescription from?

 

[Chad Stokes]

Dr. Vogel in Baltimore, Maryland. The label says the following:

MasterPharm
Richmond Hill, NY 11419
718-529-5500

Formula 82F 5/0.01/0.01/0.25%

MasterPharm is a compounding pharmacy and they are reputable. You should either use finasteride internally or use it topically. If you don't want to pay $100 a month then buy Morr-F from India. If you used it twice a day your monthly cost would be about $20.

Thanks for the suggestion Mooreu! I'm going to stick with the prescription for a few more months and if it actually works I'll switch to Morr-F. By using finesteride internally you're referring to a pill like Propecia right? I'm trying to avoid oral consumption cause of the intensity of side effects.

Could one of you guys help me out with a question? I just want to know your thoughts on 82m proprietary base. If you guys have smelt the solution does it smell heavily alcoholic or not to bad? I have found a place that will sell it to me without having to pay for the consultation and they use twice the amount of ingredients in 60ml. I was thinking I could dilute it to save some $ or use it as is and just pay 110 a month. Please let me know your guess on how alcoholic these products are.

I've never used the 82F solution. If your aim is to save money then buying Morr-F is your best bet.

finasteride seems to have a flat line response so you should get a topical with a minimal dosage in order to avoid going it systemic as much as possible.

No my aim is to use a topical without irritating my scalp so that I can get results. The formula 82m supposedly doesn’t cause irritation.

Many people find propylene glycol to be an irritant. I'm unsure if Morr-F contains PG or glycerine. You could contact the lab which makes the 82F and inquire as to it's exact contents.
