Anyone using topical dutasteride from lipoxidil?

[JesusFreak]

Looks like the prices are going down. I'm thinking about trying it, at least on my crown and temples where my hair is thinnest and spironolactone, minoxidil and cu-peptides have fallen a little short.

Well, i guess if no one else has tried it, I might as well be one of the first. Ive bought topical spironolactone from lipoxidil and had good results with shipping and delivery. I'll let everyone know how it works out.

Were there any side-effects reported with the topical?

Question ID:3932 |  topical dutasteride?? | Asked on 06/11/02

Charlie asked: "Dr Lee - I would be interested in your opinion regarding the possible application of dutasteride (assuming it's launched) topically for the treatment of male pattern baldness. I have noticed a couple of products recently that offer a topical form of finasteride (fina-lotion)and that Merck is looking at preparing a topical product. thanks in advance"

Dr Richard Lee, MD answered: "I would question the benefits of a topical finasteride, considering that finasteride is strictly a type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitor and the 5-alpha reductase in the scalp is primarily type 1.

Theoretically, dutasteride could be effective in the treatment of male pattern baldness as a topical medication, but we would first have to know if dutasteride is properly absorbed into the scalp and, if so, if it retains its pharmacological actions.
