finasteride high-performance liquid chromatography solid-phase extraction human plasma Propecia HPLC SPE

TLDR Method accurately measures finasteride in human plasma.

The paper presents a method for quantifying finasteride in human plasma using solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. The method is accurate and precise, with a linear calibration graph from 0.01 to 3.0 µg/ml of finasteride in human plasma. The research was supported by grants from the Ministero della Università e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica and the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche.
