The user is attempting to create a topical finasteride solution by mixing crushed finasteride pills with minoxidil but is facing solubility issues. They are unsure if the finasteride has dissolved properly and are seeking advice on whether it is safe to use and if there is a solution to the problem.

The conversation is about recreating a solvent for hair loss treatments, discussing the use of water, ethanol, glycerin, dimethyl isosorbide, and polysorbate 20. The effectiveness of these solvents depends on the solubility of the substances being dissolved.

The conversation discusses concerns about the solubility and stability of topical finasteride (Fynzur) when diluted with ethanol and distilled water, without propylene glycol. The user is worried about the even distribution of finasteride in the solution.

OP is trying to dissolve finasteride powder for a topical solution but faces issues with it not dissolving properly in ethanol or water. Users suggest methods like using a magnetic stirrer, shaking the mixture, or filtering out fillers, with some noting that finasteride is soluble in alcohol.

The conversation is about formulating a solvent for topical finasteride without using propylene glycol. Suggestions include using ethanol, glycerin, and distilled water in various ratios, with some discussion on the use of emulsifiers.

The conversation is about using distilled water as a solvent for topical finasteride to reduce systemic absorption. The user is considering avoiding ethanol and propylene glycol to achieve this.

Topical finasteride in a liposomal formulation reduces systemic absorption compared to ethanol solutions. The user is seeking sources for such products, noting that popular options like morr-f are not liposomal.

A user wants to dilute a melatonin sublingual spray to 0.0033% for use as a topical hair loss treatment. They ask if distilled water can be used for dilution and how much is needed for stability over months.

The conversation is about finding a Duta solution without PG, DMSO, glycerin, or oils, using only ethanol or alcohol. It suggests that such a solution may need to be made personally, as it is not readily available.

Ethosomes are suggested as an effective delivery method for topical finasteride solutions, requiring the addition of a phospholipid like soya lecithins. The user questions why do-it-yourself solutions don't commonly use ethosomes despite their potential benefits.

The conversation is about creating a homemade solution to dilute topical finasteride using ethanol, propylene glycol, and emulsifiers. The user seeks advice on the exact percentages needed for the solution.

The conversation discusses DIY topical finasteride, with users sharing experiences and advice on dissolving crushed pills in a solvent. Some recommend using raw finasteride powder or buying pre-made solutions for better stability and effectiveness.

The conversation is about dissolving Dutasteride in propylene glycol for hair loss treatment, with concerns about solubility at 0°C. It suggests using a 0.025% concentration for topical application.

Finasteride pills don't fully dissolve in a DIY topical solution due to fillers, resulting in residue. Users suggest shaking well before application and note that commercial solutions appear clearer.

A user is discussing making a DIY topical finasteride solution using ingredients like water, alcohol, propylene glycol, ethanol, and glycerin, and is concerned about the stability of the mixture. Other users suggest that the solution will work and discuss the importance of propylene glycol for drug dissolution and factors like temperature and light affecting finasteride stability.

The user has been mixing finasteride with stemoxydine for hair loss and is considering switching to a less expensive product with a different ingredient list. They are questioning if the new product's higher water content compared to alcohol will affect the finasteride's solubility.

A user is trying to make a topical finasteride solution by crushing tablets into ethanol and glycerin but struggles with spillage. Suggestions include letting the tablets dissolve in the solution or using a pill crusher for efficiency.

The user is seeking an alternative solvent for pyrilutamide due to skin irritation from ethanol and propylene glycol. They experienced similar issues with topical minoxidil.

OP asked if a product from Amazon is sufficient to dilute finasteride. A user advised against using propylene glycol alone, suggesting a pre-made solution instead.

A user received a topical finasteride solution from a pharmacy, which likely dissolved finasteride tablets instead of using pure finasteride powder, resulting in sediment. The user expressed dissatisfaction, expecting pure powder, and discussed the pros and cons of DIY solutions and the use of minoxidil with finasteride.

Crushing finasteride pills into stemoxydine may not be effective without removing the coating first. It's unclear if the pills dissolve completely or settle as sediment.

RU-58841 does not dissolve well in common Minoxidil solutions due to water content, requiring a 70/30 ethanol/propylene glycol mix. Users report using separate solutions for RU-58841 and finasteride/Minoxidil for better results.

The conversation discusses creating a topical catalase solution with phosphate buffered saline, glycerin, and polysorbate 20 for hair loss treatment. The user seeks advice on preparing this solution.

The conversation discusses two methods for making topical finasteride: using ethanol and propylene glycol or mixing it with topical minoxidil. The focus is on solubility and absorption, with a suggestion to crush pills finely and possibly mix with minoxidil at a slightly elevated temperature.

A user mixed a pyrilutamide solution and noticed undissolved powder at the bottom, questioning if this is normal and how long to wait before applying it. They wished others good luck with their treatments.

The conversation discusses finding a PG-free solvent for dissolving RU58841 in the UK, with glycerin suggested as a potential alternative. Water is also mentioned as a possible option.

A user wants to make a solution for RU58841 and finasteride powder using only glycerin and asks if ethanol is necessary. They are seeking advice on whether glycerin alone is sufficient.

Creating a topical solution combining finasteride and stemoxydine to treat hair loss, and the discussion of whether 15mg of finasteride would be sufficient for 60ml solvent.

The conversation discusses the possibility of creating liposomal topical finasteride at home or at a local pharmacy, questioning if it is an expensive or proprietary technology. It also mentions making topical finasteride using alcohol and propylene glycol.

Mixing finasteride pills with stemoxydine is not recommended due to potential solubility and safety issues. It's advised to consult a healthcare provider for professionally formulated topical finasteride products.
