TLDR Valid method measures finasteride in plasma, simple, fast, and affordable.
This document presents a validated method for measuring the concentration of finasteride in human plasma using liquid-liquid extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. The method is simple, rapid, and cost-effective, with a sensitivity range of 4-300 ng/ml. The study involved 26 healthy volunteers who received a single oral dose of 10 mg of finasteride. The proposed method is suitable for pharmacokinetic studies and the samples were stable for at least 6 weeks at -18°C.
