5 / 636 resultscommunity Everyone is ignoring that plasma finasteride levels are 100x lower with topical compared to oral.
Topical finasteride results in plasma levels 100 times lower than oral finasteride, potentially reducing systemic side effects. Users report similar efficacy with fewer side effects, suggesting a preference for topical application.
community Topical Finasteride Doesn't Directly Reduce 5ar Enzyme on Scalp
Topical Finasteride doesn't directly reduce 5ar enzyme on scalp and has the same mechanism as oral, needing to go through the liver. Users debate the accuracy of this information and discuss various studies and experiences.
community Connection between finasteride and nafld?
Finasteride may affect liver function and cortisol levels, potentially linking it to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). More research is needed to understand this connection fully.
community The theory that explains everything. Community Crowdfund
3aHSD enzyme's role in hair loss and a crowdfund for research. Goal: explore new treatments, study RU58841, and develop natural topical product.
community 5ARI (dutasteride) Associated with Adverse Metabolic Effects
Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.
