Minoxidil 5%+topical Finasterdie 0.1%

[rclark]

OK, here is the truth to what you're asking.

0.1% (That's .001), is equivalent to one milligram of Finasteride. Yes, it is one tenth of
one percent, not 1% volume.

This study claims that side effects with topical are less. But the interesting thing to note, is
that both topical Finasteride and solid Finasteride have equal benefits, I think topical did
a little better, but not by much.

15 mg finasteride in 60ml minoxidil... that is a 0.025% Finasteride solution.... equals 0.25mg finasteride per day (1ml per day).

I would either double the finasteride dosage: 30 mg Finasteride in 60ml minoxidil.... that would be a 0.05% solution... equals 0.5mg finasteride per day (1ml per day)

OR leave everything as it is BUT apply 2ml daily! (would also equal 0.5mg finasteride per day)

I also have 5mg of dutasteride in it, so 15 mg finasteride + 5 mg dutasteride in 60 ml minoxidil

First thank you guys for all the answers . I crash today 15 propecia pills in kirkland 5% minoxidil bottle but after the minoxidil is dry i still can see a lot of finasteride powder on my scalp. I start to think that finasteride cant really be absorbed through the skin.

The pills contain fillers as well as the active ingredient. The residue on your scalp is likely the fillers which didn't dissolve.

Why on earth are Hasson & Wong using a 2.5% formulation, then?

I see three possible answers:

1) Their liposomal formula actually works and keeps things from going (too) systemic so a higher concentration is safe
2) It's difficult for finasteride penetrate the scalp so a higher concentration is necessary
3) They have only tested on eunuchs

Maybe :

60 ml : 100 x 2.5 = 1.5 mg finasteride needed lol.. totally wrong calculation, but a possible answer
