    TLDR Accurate method measures finasteride levels in human plasma using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
    This 1995 paper describes a sensitive and accurate method for determining finasteride levels in human plasma using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and a deuterated internal standard. The method was applied to the determination of the pharmacokinetic profile of finasteride in five male volunteers treated with a single oral 5-mg dose of the drug, and the results were in good agreement with previous studies. The method is suitable for routine determination of finasteride at picogram levels.

      The post discusses the experiences of individuals with diffuse hair thinning using finasteride, with many reporting no improvement or worsening conditions after 6 months. Various suggestions include persisting with the treatment, checking for underlying conditions, adding minoxidil for volume, adjusting dosage, and considering other potential causes like autoimmune responses and inflammation.
