Topical Finasteride - What Can I Use As A Solvent Instead Of Minoxidil?

[Zacruz]

I’m wondering what options I have for making topical Finasteride if I don’t want to use minoxidil. Would be great if it’s something cheap that can be bought at the pharmacy.

Will be using around 100mg of finasteride so that it lasts a while.

Do you have pure finasteride? Use 100mg of finasteride first dissolved in 50ml ethanol (200 proof), then add 30ml propylene glycol, and top off with about 20ml distilled water to make 100ml of a 1% solution. Put in a cobalt or amber glass bottle with dropper to protect from light.

thank you for the suggestions.

is the solution heat sensitive? I live in a very hot place. Temps of 104F/40C are not uncommon.

Thanks, but a bit expensive and hard to get where I live.

Gets cheaper when you do not use it everyday (which you do not have to with finasteride)

"Store finasteride at room temperature between 59°F and 86°F (15°C and 30°C) in a tight, light resistant container."
You might have to keep refrigerated if your room temperatures exceed 30°C otherwise the finasteride may degrade and lose effectiveness.
