TLDR Finasteride remains stable for two years with proper storage.
This document summarizes various studies that use high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography (LC) to determine the concentration and stability of finasteride, a drug used to treat hair loss. The studies found that the proposed methods were reliable and efficient, with the drug remaining stable for up to two years under proper storage conditions. The authors emphasize the importance of quality control and analytical methods in the pharmaceutical industry.
