[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 239637, member: 38109"] I was off by a factor of 10 in my finasteride concentration, which I have corrected. In fact I've been using 200-500 mcg/mL, with the usual volume being 1 mL. I can't say anything definitive about the efficacy. At best it may have slowed the rate of loss. I have to question whether 50 mcg/mL would do much. I know there's one study showing some effect from 100 mcg, but that in turn was less effective than the higher doses. [URL='https://www.struthealth.com/blog/topical-dutasteride-studies-what-does-the-research-suggest-for-hair-loss-so-far']This[/URL] isn't a bad summary of the little that's known about topical dutasteride. I might try it once I'm convinced that the 0.05% finasteride isn't causing any side effects. There's some skepticism about topical dutasteride because the molecule is over 500 Daltons, supposedly kind of large for topical use. However, there's some pretty solid research showing that even sirolimus at over 900 Daltons has quantifiable effects on dermal tissue. [/QUOTE]
