Topical Finasteride in the UK

[chrisdav]

I believe the 2.5% is the most common strength but I would guess it can be made up depending on the prescription given by the Dr writing it, so I would have thought you could ask the Dr.


I know Dr Edgar only prescribes to UK patients.

Thank you guys, I just made two appointments with hair restoration doctors and I'll ask them for a prescription.
I wrote to the Italian company that sent me a ready made prescription so my doctor just has to fill it and send it to them.
I'll probably first go for a 1% Finasteride solution and will keep you informed on this thread.

Does anyone know what concentrations reduce systemic DHT and by what levels?

[ez456]

Anyone? I could do with some more info on this...like how much it reduces blood DHT by (for the different strengths)...also what the overall costs are if someone were to use it a few times per week...

Is this the gel format which was worked on by Hasson and Wong and supposedly stops the fin going systemic?

Someone mentioned that their Dr didn't believe it would replace oral fin. Is that because it is less effective?

I am also UK based.

Would crushing standard fin tables and putting them into standard minox not do a similar job? Although I have no idea what dose I would end up with

No as you have fillers with tablets, i use 15% with finesteride and additives from America.

Does anyone have any information as to how long it takes Dr Edgar to reply?

Sent him an email a couple of days ago and have yet to get a response

Cheers

Hi there,

Dr Edgar doesnt supply topical finasteride now and there used to be Dr Kash in the UK who did but has also stopped. I do not know the reason why.

Hey there!
I was suffering from hairloss from past 3 years I tried every natural remedy but not a single thing worked for me.
At the end I tried Finasteride (propecia) easily available in India🇮🇳.
Today is Day 187 of treatment and my hair are now much more denser than ever before.
I have made a blog where I shared my journey of 187 days from Day 1 to till now with photos of everyweek.
It was a great journey for me I have seen a lot of things in these days. Here is the blog
