Topical finestride 0.1 once or twice a day

[Jamos1982]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using a topical 0.1 fin/min spray mourning and night and I was wondering if it will still be as effective if I use at night only, as using it in mourning makes my hair greasy for the day.

thanks

I personally think it would work better at night as your testosterone levels peak around 5am during a normal sleep pattern (no shift work) cycle. I take 0.25% topical finasteride at night for the reasons you mentioned. I wake up in the morning looking like the love child of Don King and Kosmo Kramer!!!!

Once a day is good enough.

Hi, I had finasteride before and also having now from the last six months 1mg of finasteride three times in a week. But I'm having some sides with it. My plan is to take for two more months, after that I will switch completely to topical fin. My question is, did you face any issues with topical 0.25% ?

No. I’m able to tolerate topical Finasteride 0.25%. I know @Doron Harati had the same problem and also switched to topical Finasteride.

Yea I had libido sides effects issues with Propecia pills so I switched for topical formula of Finasteride mixed with Minoxidil without any issues for 2 years.

I use it once a day as the pharmacist instructed me.

Thank you for sharing the details. May I know the concentration % of topical finasteride that you're using currently ?
