    TLDR Domestic and imported finasteride tablets are bioequivalent.
    The study established an HPLC-MS method to determine finasteride levels in plasma and assessed the bioequivalence of domestic and imported finasteride tablets. In a randomized crossover study with 20 healthy volunteers, each received a single 5 mg dose of both tablet types. The results showed that the calibration curve for finasteride was linear, with high recovery rates from plasma and low variability in measurements. The pharmacokinetic parameters, including AUC and C_max, were similar for both tablet types, and the relative bioavailability of domestic to imported tablets was 103.20%±15.08%. The study concluded that there were no significant differences between the two preparations, confirming their bioequivalence. The HPLC-MS method was found to be accurate and sensitive for finasteride determination.

      in Research/Science  290 upvotes 4 years ago
      The conversation discusses RU58841, a compound for hair loss treatment, which was found to be effective in a 6-month trial but was not pursued due to financial issues or marketability concerns, not safety. Some users are considering crowdfunding to release the research data, while others discuss personal experiences and safety concerns with RU58841.
