    TLDR Optimal long-acting finasteride injection dose found: 16.8 mg, effective for one month.
    This document discusses a study that developed a long-acting injectable form of finasteride for treating hair loss and created a model to predict the optimal dosage using pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling. The study tested different ratios and conditions to create finasteride-loaded microspheres and found that PLGA 7525A was effective in maintaining a suitable drug concentration level for one month. The optimal dose was found to be 16.8 mg based on predicted PK-PD profiles. The study also conducted repeat dose toxicity tests on male beagle dogs and found no serious toxicological signs.
