Senior Member dabuski Posted March 30, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2008 While perusing other hair loss forums i noticed a lot of posting concerning the use of Topical Finasteride. It seems it can be bought either as product or made DIY (DODGY!) Any one any experiences on this. dabuski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dewayne Posted March 30, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yes, a coalition doctor prescribed a mix of finasteride / minoxidil for me at a cost of about $37 per month. I've taken it for about two years. I can't say it works, though. My hair seemed to look healthier and a little darker but I'm not sure about any growth. I've had two other coalition doctors tell me that it doesn't work as a topical solution. I just stopped using it and will try the oral finasteride and topical Rogaine foam. 100?

Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted March 30, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2008 Your body does absorb it and utilize it the same way . This has been confirmed by blood work. Problem is if your prone to side effects youll get them again. It doesnt just stay in the scalp and destroy dht . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 dabuski, As Dewayne pointed out, it has been prescribed before, but I personally don't have a lot of faith in this method. From my understanding, it hasn't been tested as a topical treatment either. However, I'd be interested to hear physician input on this one.
