The importance of exams (Blood test) to test new products.

[JulioGP]

Thechamp friend , what is a " gp " ? I do not understand .

Redy friend , the doctor you spoke is correct . The idea is to reduce DHT in the follicles and not in the blood but there are no easy tests to measure the levels of DHT in the follicle. The exams are available at our fingertips to measure the level of DHT in the blood , so the only way to control this hormone . If the blood is reduced DHT , the follicles will also be automatically .

There is no oral drug that will reduce DHT only in the follicle , so the only alternative left to try to reduce DHT in the blood to be reduced in the same follicle.

Precisely this is the idea of using topical products based Finasteride , since they promise to reduce DHT in the scalp only , but so far have not seen any test measuring the DHT in the follicle for that use .

Currently with my treatment , I'm using 025 Genhair that promises this, but I can not measure the effectiveness , only through blood tests , which finasteride was the only one that was effective , unfortunately.

What's the big push for blood test with drugs like finasteride?

the goal of the drug is not to lower blood dht, it's to lower the dht effecting hair follicles. While I understand that blood dht leads to follicles, etc, you're chasing the smoke and not the fire here, right? I've spoken to two or three doctors who have said getting blood tests will not necessarily test the effectiveness of the drug, only what happens to your hair will show how it's working for you.

well the drug SHOULD lower your DHT by as much as the studies claim...if it doesn't, you gotta wonder why

you could be on fin for months not knowing it is barely lowering your DHT, and you may need something stronger ie dut

I know of no case in which the person took Finasteride for months and when have blood tests, your DHT was exactly the same level. I've seen cases where the DHT is not reduced to a desired level, but just do not cut, never seen. In this case, probably he needs oral Dutasteride.
