Topical Finasteride Doesn't Directly Reduce 5ar Enzyme on Scalp Finasteride/Dutasteride 5/19/2023
Topical Finasteride doesn't directly reduce 5ar enzyme on scalp and has the same mechanism as oral, needing to go through the liver. Users debate the accuracy of this information and discuss various studies and experiences.
