Hence I recommend 0.25% twice a week
Homeostasis is reached generally by the half life of the drug thus week 4.
Even at this low spread dosage his scalp DHT was reduced almost 50%, that is more than oral finasteride reduces with only 25% serum decline
What more do you want?
By the 4th week, he already has serum DHT of 612 pg/ml, only 200 more than his RU/finasteride combo while still having substantially more scalp DHT. Though he does have higher free and total test that could be making up for it.
I'm not ruling out topical dutasteride as an option, even an effective one. But seeing the difference in scalp dht of topical dutasteride vs RU/finasteride has me wondering how much of the heavy lifting RU could be doing that isn't being considered or overlooked. Just saying, a scalp biopsy of a solo RU run would be interesting. I know of binding affinities, but that doesn't necessarily rule it out, just like something being 500 daltons doesn't mean it won't go systemic.
