Thread: Topical Finasteride 0.025% bloodwork

Long story short, my surgeon wants me on low dose oral finasteride (2mg a week or 0.25mg EOD). I have had bad side effects in the past with oral finasteride at 0.5mg EOD and Topical Finasteride at 0.1% so I know I am sensitive to the drug including Gyno, loss of libido, anxiety, insomnia and prostate pain.

He agreed to let me try a low dose Topical Finasteride 0.025% that according research and the clinic only reduces 25% of serum DHT while reducing 50% to 60% of scalp DHT on their patients. (https://fueclinic.com/services/treat...asteride-0-025).

I will take baseline DHT blood test and repeat at 2 weeks, 1 month and 2 months. Free testosterone, total testosterone and E2 will also be measured and report on perceived side effects.

I will be dosing 1ML on Monday's and Thursdays for the duration of my trial. If DHT is suppressed above 50% I will be stopping the medication.
