Low dose Finasteride

[broker]

I would not be surprised if testing with very low dose finasteride is being conducted for dht related side effects. Perhaps .25 and .5mg dosages opposed to 1mg amd 5 mg. Finstasteride side effects do seem to be dose dependant ( to an extent ). Low dose Finasteride could very well become an adjunctive therapy for T replacement.
Lets face it, our body produces dht for a reason so lowering it too much is not a good thing. Lowering cholesterol too much is not a good thing either.

WARNING: Propecia (finasteride) or Proscar can cause erection issues.

There are no (high) DHT related side effects to a point as you stated should not be reduced. Prostate issues have far more to do with Estrogen and being Estrogen dominant, whereas DHT counters E to an extent, and MPB is far more to do with genetics than anything else.

Efficacy and safety of topical finasteride spray solution for male androgenetic alopecia: a phase III, randomized, controlled clinical trial - PubMed

Topical finasteride significantly improves hair count compared to placebo and is well tolerated. Its effect is similar to that of oral finasteride, but with markedly lower systemic exposure and less impact on serum DHT concentrations.
