Yes it is very too bad the side effects sometimes appears many month or years after starting medication, even at very low dosage. I hope too that there will be new medication wich will no goes systemic soon... Hoping on Pyri !

Where are you getting Pyri?

Also is anyone on TRT and using topcial dutasteride successfully? Are you guys putting topical Dut on hairline/transplanted areas or just thinning native areas?

So I am trying to make sense on why so many people feel topical dutasteride will be more effective and have less side effects, but I cannot seem to understand it from a scientific standpoint. I am hoping someone can explain. 
 

So the thought behind the reason topical dutasteride will have less side effects is due to its high molecular weight (greater than 500 g/mol). So according to the 500 Dalton rule (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10839713/),dutasteride will not penetrate the corneal layer, which is the outer layer of the epidermis. This part makes sense as to why topical dutasteride won’t go systemic. 
 

The part I don’t understand is how does this make topical dutasteride effective when the hair follicle is in the dermal papilla layer (which is in the dermis—the layer deeper and under the epidermis)? If it cannot penetrate beyond the corneal layer, how is it able to have its effect on the follicle?

The 500 Dalton Rule is NOT absolute. Conventional topical dutasteride WILL go systemic to a small degree (albeit less than finasteride). I along with many others have still had side effects from this.

For context Ketoconazole is 531.431 Daltons and is applied topically all the time.

Formulations like Xyon or Farmacia Parati are designed to enhance the penetration to the dermis level over a timed release and get stuck there resulting in incredibly low amount going systemic.

Hey guys, I just received a bottle of topical dut 0.5% from farmacia parati. Any advice on how to apply it? And how often to apply it? I was thinking about applying 1ML just once per week.

Can anyone help? How have people been able to order topical dutasteride or Finasteride overseas from Farmacia Parati? The website is in Italian and I can’t see a way of translating it to English? If anyone can give advice and any other tips I would be extremely grateful. 🙏

Yeah but ketoconazole is usually applied topically to treat fungal infections, which occurs superficially on the outer layer of skin (epidermis)…

But Ketoconazole also helps with hair loss, which means it does penetrate to the epidermis.

Is it safe to put in on with bare hands? How long should it stay on and should I wash it off after some time? Or when is it safe for a girl to touch my head after I have put it on. These are the things I am kinda worried about

It’s safe to put on with your bare hands, it needs to stay on for a long time to penetrate. Women can touch your hair as long as they’re not pregnant or trying to conceive.

Grazie molto@ Pbayrd98. 🙏

@Gatsby,  you probably solved your problem, and I'm happy about it, but at least you could have given me an answer to my PM that I sent you after you contacted me, don't you think?

I think it is because of that problem that all the research paper I saw about using topical dutasteride are used with microneedle...

@r0entgenYour question is one I have been trying to figure out myself.  I hope to see some additional responses.

Why did you decide to go with topical dut and not topical fin? Is there less chance of sides with topical dut? Also will they ship this to europe?

Topical dutasteride has a large molecular weight. Combine that with silicone based liposomal vehicles. It doesn’t penetrate quickly. Thus, a more controlled release. That said, many don’t report sides from topical fin either, which on average reduces 30% systemic DHT, as opposed to 60-70% from oral version.

I am now sure that Parati liposomal formulation is the same as Xyon.

This is how Xyon gel is designed from the paper :

xyon_gel.thumb.png.86a0f3213e0cb4e3c202a6f74118b78f.png

and this is the parati formulation :

IMG_20230202_165101.thumb.jpg.d7b004e3d596b1547e370ba5d7f14017.jpg

So we can get Xyon gel in Europe 🙂

This is odd. I got topical dutasteride from Farmacia Parati and the ingredients on the tube are not this at all.. Might explain why I still got sides from it. If anyone's interested I could type them out

Xyons formula is patented, so maybe they had to change it.

It's the same I already make a comment on this comparing the two formulations.

Ah ok, well I am not a specialist but it seems there still have the silicon (PEG8) and I think Phytic Acid is for the liposomes. To be confirmed by specialists...

 

If you read the patent, there are lot of ingredient which can be used for liposomes :
