research Finasteride and sperm concentration: Rapid systematic review

October 2020 in “Journal of Pakistan Association of Dermatology”

This analysis of seven studies explored the impact of finasteride (1mg/day for androgenic alopecia) on sperm concentration, finding that in most studies, sperm concentration increased after stopping treatment, but the largest study showed no change during or after treatment.

Change in Prostate-Specific Antigen Concentration in Men with Prostate-Specific Antigen Less Than 2.5 ng/mL Taking Low-Dose Finasteride or Dutasteride for Male Androgenetic Alopecia

research Change in Prostate Specific Antigen Concentration in Men with Prostate Specific Antigen Less than 2.5 ng/ml Taking Low Dose Finasteride or Dutasteride for Male Androgenetic Alopecia

1 citations , July 2017 in “The Journal of Urology”

In this study, low dose finasteride or dutasteride treatment was found to reduce prostate specific antigen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia, though levels sometimes remained stable or increased in those with low baseline PSA.

research The Fabrication of Different Concentrations of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles of Finasteride

January 2011 in “Hebei yixue”

This study found that 0.1% concentrations of finasteride-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles showed high entrapment efficiency and homogeneity.

Effect of Finasteride on Serum Concentrations of Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone in Three Clinically Normal Sexually Intact Adult Male Dogs

research Effect of finasteride on serum concentrations of dihydrotestosterone and testosterone in three clinically normal sexually intact adult male dogs.

10 citations , June 1998 in “PubMed”

Finasteride significantly reduces DHT levels in male dogs without affecting testosterone levels, suggesting it could be used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy in dogs weighing 10 to 50 kilograms.

Effect of 1 mg/Day Finasteride on Concentrations of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen in Men With Androgenic Alopecia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

research Effect of 1 mg/day finasteride on concentrations of serum prostate-specific antigen in men with androgenic alopecia: a randomised controlled trial

89 citations , December 2006 in “Lancet Oncology”

In this study, 1 mg/day finasteride lowered serum PSA concentration in men aged 40–60, suggesting that PSA adjustment recommendations for prostate cancer screening using 5 mg/day finasteride should also apply to this lower dose for hair loss treatment.

community Topical Finasteride concetrations and amount applied

in Treatment 10 upvotes 1 year ago

Topical finasteride concentrations and application amounts are debated, with concerns that mainstream solutions may use arbitrary concentrations. A 0.25% solution with a specific application method is suggested as more appropriate than higher concentrations.

community Is anyone here using lower concentrations of topical finasteride (e.g., 0.005-0.05% range) and seeing results?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 4 upvotes 4 months ago

Users discuss the effectiveness of low-dose topical finasteride (0.005-0.05%) for hair loss, often combined with minoxidil. Some report stable results or new growth, but it's unclear if improvements are due to finasteride or minoxidil.

community concentration of my finasteride therapy

4 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses a topical finasteride therapy with hydrocortisone butyrate, estrone base, and breviline. A user suggests oral finasteride as a superior option.

community People call companies stupid for making very high concentration Topical Fin solutions but I think they overlook the fact that the actual absorption rate of finasteride varies greatly

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 13 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses how the absorption rate of topical finasteride varies and is not equivalent to its oral form, with only a small percentage reaching the scalp. It also mentions that minoxidil in high concentrations is used topically because only a small amount is absorbed.

community 8 years on topical min/fin. 0.01% fin concentration/8% min

in Progress Pictures 344 upvotes 1 year ago

The user has maintained hair with topical minoxidil (8%) and finasteride (0.01%) for 7.5 years, experiencing mild regrowth and no side effects. They also use rosemary oil, jojoba oil, and magnesium oil for hair care.

Is finasteride safe? Studies report that most men tolerate finasteride 1 mg, but case series, regulatory labelling and patient reports describe sexual, mood and cognitive effects that some say persisted after stopping, and how often that happens is not established. It is a prescription-only medicine and is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Is Finasteride unbeatable or are there equally powerful alternatives? Trials report finasteride as the single medication with the strongest measured effect in male androgenetic alopecia, while dutasteride, minoxidil, topical finasteride, PRP, LLLT and microneedling all have supporting studies and are often reported to work better in combination. Finasteride, dutasteride and oral minoxidil are prescription-only, and several of these uses are off-label.
What does finasteride do to the female body? Find out its side effects. Finasteride is not approved for hair loss in women anywhere; the one controlled trial, in 137 postmenopausal women at 1 mg daily, found no benefit over placebo, while smaller uncontrolled studies at higher off-label doses report some improvement. It is contraindicated in pregnancy and crushed or broken tablets must not be handled.
