Topical finasteride? Diffuser44 take a look

[BrianP]

I made this thread thinking of u cuz i see u posting bad things about fina a lot and recently i came up with a few pages and research showing that topical finasteride 0,1% (1mg/ml) or 0,2% is even more effective than oral finasteride but without most if not all of the oral side effects..

Has anyone ever used topical fina?

Why would anyone use oral finasteride if u can use topical finasteride that is better and with less/no side effects?

Im having my topical done this afternoon, 5% minoxidil + 0,2% fina

In brasil we have these 100% legit pharmacies/drug stores where they make your meds, its not criminal or anything, sometimes u even need doctor prescription.. So i just go and be like "yo i want minoxidil 50%, with 50% propilenglicol, 30% alchool and 20% purified water" thats thhe minoxidil.. I havent seen pics of ppl who used topical finasteride but from research that i read it is supposed to be more effective than oral..

I will check it out today see if they have

That's cool if you can get your hands on topical finasteride. I have heard stuff about it. I just haven't seen any studies done on it that show effectiveness.

This sounds promising. Of course I will have concerns. The main one is starting a family. With topical finasteride in the house is there a chance a pregnant woman will come into contact with the stuff whether it be touching my hair or if some residue gets on the counter. The health of my offspring would be way more important and I would feel uneasy about risking that. Plus some of the meds would be absorbed through the scalp. My scalp gets sunburned easily which would put me at more risk for absorption. That too would be a concern of mine.
I would want the cost relatively cheap and to see effectiveness and safety information before I would consider it.
I know minoxidil lowers my blood pressure by about 5 to 10 so I know topicals get absorbed in my system.

I get u bro

Well about getting absorbed into the system i believe every med is but isnt it a fact that oral minoxidil gives more side effects than topical one?

I believe that would apply to topical fina vs oral fina ? Even though it gets absorbed into the system the most of it goes to the scalp therefore affecting less the rest of the body.. or am i wrong?

Yeah you're probably right on that. Oral min will cause way more side effects for sure. I'm not even sure it it still exists?

It does and some people take it..

U know those guys who actually get more results than everyone cuz they are just insane and go with a regimen like this? they are the ones who take

Oral Finasteride
Topical Finasteride
Oral Minoxidil
Topical Minoxidil
Oral spironolactone
spironolactone Cream
Topical Dutasteride
Oral Dutasteride
Azelaic Acid
+ All the other little helpish hair products/vitamins/meds

And u see these dudes and they have no beard anymore, gyno, a few too many health issues but recovered from NW3 diffused to NW1 with more hair than people who dont suffer from male pattern baldness in like 2-3 years times lol
