I can't get in this article. If it is possible can you publish it on forum?

And what do you think about this http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/quer ... s=11250761

It suggest that finasteride topiccaly works in inhibitions of 5alfa reductase and finnaly decraesing of DHT.

I can't get this article again, sorry. If you really want it, you'll have to register and pay for it.

The other study is about hirsutism. Is something working for that doesn't necessarily imlpy it's working for alopecia androgenetica. Maybe it works maybe not. But I'm pretty sure oral Finasteride is much better.

Maybe it's because finasteride has prodlems with go through the skin.

I've got almost 1 year suplly of Finasterid lotion with GTE, so what do you think about adding some DMSO or Retin-A to improve absorbtion of it?

From what I uderstand merck has filed a patent for topical finasteride, so my guess is that it works if the proper delivery solution is used... There is a company that makes liposomal finasteride outside the US, here: http://www.lipoxidil.com/site/fina.php . Also I read an interview (I think with Dr Lee) that said it is effective but merck made a pill because they felt it would be prefered over a topical.

My only concern with a topical would be that the residue could contaminate things and maybe get into the system of pregnant women.

Very intresting... :!:
