Making topical finasteride with ethanol + propylene glycol vs mixing it with topical minoxidil Finasteride/Dutasteride 11/24/2025
The conversation discusses two methods for making topical finasteride: using ethanol and propylene glycol or mixing it with topical minoxidil. The focus is on solubility and absorption, with a suggestion to crush pills finely and possibly mix with minoxidil at a slightly elevated temperature.

A sugar gel called 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) shows potential for promoting hair regrowth by increasing blood supply to hair follicles, similar to Minoxidil, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. It may benefit those who don't tolerate Minoxidil, but it is not a replacement for treatments like Finasteride or RU58841.
community I just made 60x of 5mg minoxidil sugar cubes
A user created oral minoxidil sugar cubes due to lack of prescription access, leading to a humorous discussion about unconventional and potentially unsafe methods of using minoxidil. The conversation highlights the lengths people go to for hair growth.
community Important thing i discovered that makes ru58841 very effective
RU58841 is more effective when mixed with isopropyl alcohol instead of minoxidil, as water in minoxidil degrades RU58841. Applying RU58841 separately from minoxidil, with an hour gap, enhances hair growth results.
community Thinking about my making own CB-03-01 (Breezula). Thoughts?
The user experienced side effects with both oral and topical finasteride and is considering making their own hair loss treatment using CB-03-01 (Breezula) mixed with minoxidil due to fewer reported side effects. They plan to use a lower concentration than what was used in trials.
