[QUOTE="JacksonCu, post: 254892, member: 45507"] I DID say it DOES get into the bloodstream. Kindly re-read. However as per this study, topical application produces MUCH LESS serum Finasteride levels and SMALLER REDUCTION in DHT, with the same hair regrowth: [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34634163/[/URL] My goals are: - BRING DHT DOWN from 5x the reference range max to maybe 1-2x. --- stop the acne - better hair regrowth would be a huge bonus AGAIN are the issues with Finasteride ONLY the result of bringing DHT down TOO LOW? IOW would Finasteride use but with serum DHT remaining HIGH be healthy? Thanks, I'm gonna look this up. The next question in my mind is, does topical F produce this effect, in patients with VERY HIGH DHT from TRT? And, this article: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hairguard.com/finasteride-dosages/[/URL] ...shows that 0.2 mg daily finasteride is almost as effective in reducing hair loss as the common 1mg dose, with LESS reduction in DHT. So the natural Q will be, would 0.2 mg (or better, a smallish dose of topical F prevent the ill side effects? [/QUOTE]
