Keeps/Hims Topical Finasteride+Minoxidil versus Oral Fin + Foam Min

[igbekele007]

I'm about to finalize my order from keeps with Oral Finasteride and Foam Minoxidil but I am contemplating if I should do their recent topical Finasteride and Minoxidil solution, because topical fin would not nuke my systemic DHT as much?

Anyone run the topical Fin+Min and can share insights?

 

[CyprusGD]

Just buy oral minoxidil. Its better than topical minoxidil.

U mean oral finasteride? I will take minoxidil as topical.

 

[CyprusGD]

No. Oral minoxidil

 

[igbekele007]

No. Oral minoxidil

Why should I run that? I heard it grows all the hair on body.

[igbekele007]

don't take oral minoxidil jfc

Why not?

 

[Deleted member 22253]

Why not?

it is bad for your heart and has no benefits over topical minoxidil.

Fuck anecdotal based advice question.
study happened. topical goes roughly half less systemic.

Efficacy and safety of topical finasteride spray solution for male androgenetic alopecia: a phase III, randomized, controlled clinical trial - PubMed

Topical finasteride significantly improves hair count compared to placebo and is well tolerated. Its effect is similar to that of oral finasteride, but with markedly lower systemic exposure and less impact on serum DHT concentrations.

I haven’t popped my Modafinil yet so I’m low IQ, but how did their efficiency on the scalp compare?

"at week 24 (primary efficacy endpoint) was significantly greater with topical finasteride than placebo (adjusted mean change 20.2 vs. 6.7 hairs; P < 0.001), and numerically similar between topical and oral finasteride. "

Aka, same result as 1mg fina.


Concentrations used in this study:
"The experimental drug was topical finasteride 0.25% w/w (concentration of 2.275 mg/mL) delivered using a spray applicator with a plastic cone that prevents product dispersion in the air (Fig. 1). Each actuation delivers 50 µL of solution, equivalent to 0.114 mg of finasteride. T

Oral finasteride 1 mg was the reference drug for systemic exposure and was provided as film-coated tablets (Propecia"

Damn I should change to topical then. I will also use RU58841 anyways so even if topical finasteride is not as strong as topical, along with RU it should be enough.

true that

topical fina moggs, for lowers side effects risks imo. because it goes about half less systemic, while on scalp same blocking levels.
we are taking fina obvioulsy, only to limit dht on scalp, not the rest of body.
So we need to aim, to use stuff that goes least systemic,

I tried to make my own mix (ru5888 and fina) since I bought the raw materials. But the fina is bruatls low amount, need to be giga precise and shit. and need a very good micro weight machine.

A dude suggested this place.
You can buy topical mix with fina here. and other stuff mixxed in it as well. they have a rnage of selction.
Watch out for their dosing though.
Some places put copious high amount of fina in the topical mix, which is retarded, and just side effects risks making higher for no or very little extra hair gains.

For my RU58841, I will go for this one, because it's one of the 3 vendors MPMD recommends and also saw people buying and getting good results. They have lab results for each of their batches too. Only thing is I will be buying the solution and not the powder.

I'm too low IQ to mix it myself so I didn't bother. Are there any cope supplements like biotin that you take?

for hair you mean? if I take supplements orally

 

[igbekele007]

Yep. Any supplement related to hair. Can also be essential oils you apply like peppermint oil, not necessarily oral only.
