research Effects of a Novel Finasteride 0.25% Topical Solution on Scalp and Serum Dihydrotestosterone in Healthy Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
The 0.25% finasteride solution, when applied once a day, effectively reduces scalp DHT, potentially minimizing sexual side-effects linked to a systemic DHT reduction.
research Oral and Topical Administration of Standardized Saw Palmetto Oil Reduces Hair Fall and Improves Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia Subjects: A 16-Week Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study
Saw palmetto extract reduced hair loss and improved hair growth in people with hair thinning.
research FCE 28260, A New 5α-Reductase Inhibitor: In Vitro and In Vivo Effects
FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.
research COVID-19 and Androgenic Status: Do Testosterone or Dihydrotestosterone Have a Pivotal Role?
Higher dihydrotestosterone may be linked to more inflammation in COVID-19 patients with low testosterone.
research Therapeutic Maintenance Effect of Finasteride 1 Mg Every Other Month Regimen in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Prospective Cohort Study
Taking finasteride every other month can still help with hair loss but may be less effective over time compared to taking it daily.

community Research Backed Dutasteride Simulator (Serum/scalp DHT included for all doses)
A Dutasteride Simulator predicts serum dutasteride, serum DHT, and scalp DHT levels using models from research papers. It simulates various dosing schedules to determine steady-state effects and visualizes outcomes, including hair growth-related scalp DHT suppression.
community Research Backed Dutasteride Simulator (Serum/Scalp DHT included for all doses)
A dutasteride simulator predicts that daily 0.5 mg dosing results in higher DHT suppression compared to less frequent dosing. Twice-weekly dutasteride may be as effective as finasteride 5 mg, providing a balance between efficacy and ease of use.
community 📈 Solving for very low dose topical finasteride titration intervals
The conversation discusses using very low dose topical finasteride to achieve specific serum DHT reduction percentages. It concludes that finasteride dosage increases linearly between 5-30% DHT reduction but requires exponential increases for reductions up to 70%.
community Topical Finasteride strength discussion
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of different concentrations and dosages of topical finasteride on scalp and serum DHT levels, comparing it to oral finasteride and noting the side effects seem to be fewer at lower dosages. Participants shared experiences and referenced a chart indicating similar scalp DHT reduction with 0.025% topical finasteride as with 1mg oral finasteride, but with fewer side effects.
community Lowering DHT vs measured level and topical scalp treatment issues
The conversation discusses the effects of lowering DHT on hair loss and the importance of monitoring DHT levels during treatment. The user suggests that individual responses to DHT and hair loss treatments vary, and expresses a preference for topical treatments over oral medications due to concerns about systemic DHT reduction.
