TLDR Smaller finasteride particles increase effectiveness in treating hair loss.
A study from 5 years ago found that reducing the particle size of finasteride can improve its effectiveness in treating hair loss by increasing its bioavailability and cellular permeation. The study also found that reducing the particle size of finasteride improved its tissue distribution and cellular permeation, potentially enhancing its therapeutic efficacy. However, further research is needed to determine the ideal particle size for maximum therapeutic benefits and evaluate its long-term safety and efficacy.
