Regular Member chimpaneasy Posted March 18, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 18, 2021 I was working with a pharmacy in SF to compound me some topical dut, but I asked my HT surgeon (Diep) about it and he told me that it won't do anything. I decided to take the plunge and replace oral fin with dut at 0.5mg/day per his recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Phab Posted March 18, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 18, 2021 @win200 It sounds like when it comes to invoicing, they are fast, when it comes to support, no reply. I'd request a refund from paypal, until they reply with a tracking number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay away from them. They import non regulated drugs from China and sell them pretending to be an American company. I had the worst side effects of my life using their bottles, who knows what they put in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest concern is that this seems to be a very new company, I can hardly find anything about them. Also, they’re recommending using DUT topical once daily (and in some cases twice daily) but everything I’ve read on here says to only use it once a week.

Getting side effects from either topical dutasteride or topical finasteride are miniscule. Remember, the rate of side effects on oral finasteride are about 5% (which is small). I took topical fin (https://www.minoxidilmax.com/maxogen-x-topical-finasteride-8-minoxidil-retinoic-acid) and had sides right away within 2 weeks and stopped. I had sides with topical fin also. I just sent a request to fueclinic and for 100 bucks might give it a shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious, what were the side effects that you were getting and what was the concentration of the topical finasteride?

Please guys, I have said it before and I will say it again, DO NOT put unregulated imported crap from China on your scalp The guys don't even have a US address that's real. Stay away from them FUECLINIC has 500 patients on Topical Dutasteride and no complaints on sides. MM has thousands of kids buying this with no medical supervision fuckng up their endocrine system for good Their finasteride ruined my life for an entire year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got maxogen X and the first trial product is free so I only paid 7 dollars for shipping. They say apply 1 ml each night and I only applied 0.5 ml every other night and barely applied for 2 weeks and libido was dead pretty much. I stopped right away. I read a user here who said he took it with Ashwagandha and I bought that too from costco but the side effects were pretty much immediate even after taking it with ashwagandha. Over the last 2 yrs, I have moved from NW5 to NW7 pretty much and I was desperate to save what's left but I'd prefer libido over hair. I just sent a request to fueclinic so let's see if they reply back/ship. Another 100 bucks gamble in this long process. Also, I ready shifty's thread and he said something about DSL product that he's trying (https://dslaboratories.com/collections/mens/products/spectral-dnc-n-redensifying) Has anyone else tried this. I don't plan to use Maxogen-X at all for now. Good thing is morning wood (80%) is back but it took 6-8 weeks so Fin gives me serious sides OR maybe I used too much and should have used 0.5ml just once a week but again I trust the long term members on this site than reviews posted online on DSL or MinoxMax etc. Edited April 6, 2021 by Panamera13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mustang Posted April 6, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) I bought their 0.2% Finasteride I applied it twice. It felt like it was 20% or I don't know what but dick was completely dead and libido gone for months and the worst brain fog ever. Thankfully things got back to normal eventually after 6 months but it cost me my relationship We went on holiday with my GF at the time and I could not initiate sex. Libido was totally gone. It was far worse than oral finasteride. I then did my research on them and found it's unregulated drugs from China they import. I sincerely hope they get shutdown. They don't care about messing up peoples lives to make money which is not what happens with other companies offering this who actually have doctors and pharmacists behind giving you indications of usage and most importantly having this done with pharma grade drugs in a regulated environment.

It’s often an overlooked subject, but younger guys worrying about how women will perceive them without or with less hair, don’t fully appreciate that the above is more likely to be a detrimental factor to relationships.

Senior Member mustang Posted April 6, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 6, 2021 I concur but It's alright man. I learned from it and found other treatments that don't cause the same sides or at least no sexual sides. Thank you for your empathy mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Bluelagoon Posted August 30, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Sorry about necroing on old thread, but I found my way to it from googling. I was about to buy the finasteride only bottle from Minoxidilmax, but now I'm having second thoughts. Does anyone know: Has the company Minoxidilmax cleaned up their act since this thread was made? Are there any other companies which sell finasteride topical without other ingredients? Shipping to Europe. Sorry to hear about your experiences, mustang. It sounds like you've got a massive dose of fin yeah, or something worse. Edited August 30, 2023 by Bluelagoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the latter company, not the former, when googling. Anagenica has finasteride topical, but only together with other ingredients, such as a minoxidil-like substance. My skin didn't agree with minoxidil, so that's something I am trying to stay away from. Do you think it would be an idea to buy this propylene glycol solvent from minoxidilmax, and make own topical finasterid dissolving tablets? I'd prefer to get everything ready compounded from a pharmacy, just fin + solvent, but it's hard to find any who offer just that. https://www.minoxidilmax.com/pg-solvent-propylene-glycol-ethanol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a vegan natural compound Just email them and ask without trichoxidil but it would be silly to not include it imho. It’s probably the same price and you miss out on the growth factors. That solvent would work by the way. I don’t see why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
