Pharmacokinetics and Relative Bioavailability of Finasteride Tablets in Humans

    January 2004 in “ Chinese Journal of Pharmaceuticals ”

    TLDR The two brands of finasteride tablets work the same in the body.
    The study investigated the pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of test and reference finasteride tablets in 20 healthy male volunteers using a randomized crossover design. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters, including Cmax, tmax, t1/2, AUC0～24h, and AUC0～∞, were similar for both test and reference tablets. The relative bioavailability of the test tablets was 100.2%, indicating that the two brands of tablets were bioequivalent.

      community What’s better dutasteride or finasteride?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  27 upvotes 7 months ago
      Dutasteride is seen as more effective than finasteride for hair loss but may have more side effects and a longer half-life. Some start with finasteride for fewer side effects, while others switch to dutasteride for better results.

      The conversation discusses the potential benefits of sublingual minoxidil for hair loss treatment. It suggests that sublingual minoxidil, which bypasses the liver, may have fewer side effects, greater bioavailability, and could be more effective than oral minoxidil.

      community Why can’t we just do another creatine study?

      Creatine may worsen hair loss in some, especially with androgenic alopecia, but evidence is mixed. Some users experience no hair loss when using creatine with minoxidil and finasteride, while others notice increased shedding.

      community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

      in Research/Science  2447 upvotes 4 years ago
      The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.

      community I just made 60x of 5mg minoxidil sugar cubes

      in Minoxidil  1336 upvotes 1 year ago
      A user created oral minoxidil sugar cubes due to lack of prescription access, leading to a humorous discussion about unconventional and potentially unsafe methods of using minoxidil. The conversation highlights the lengths people go to for hair growth.
