Topical finasteride

[bobby66]

I'm, having trouble finding reliable information on this or even a place to buy it.

I've read about people crushing the tablet and them dissolving it and then applying it to their head - now many drugs which are not taken orally are not identical to the oral version - they may need to be modified to be absorbed by the skin! Is this evidence based?

I read something somewhere by a surgeon where he said the DHT loss in the blood with topical was lower but he said the effect on hair growth was the same (indicating the effect was more targeted to the hair) - now DHT is important e.g. for sex drive and also beard growth (required to turn vellus beard hair into think terminal beard hair) so if this is true I'd definitely want to get my hands on it as I can tell the finasteride is affecting my sex drive and my beard has not yet matured (2/3 of the beard hairs on my face are vellus). I don't really believe that by crashing a male sex hormone to 30% of its original value that it's going to be temporary so is there any reliable information about this and where to buy it?
