Losing hair fast on trt - considering finasteride

[mac34]

Yes. I do both. I dose 1 mg per day topically (in 2 divided doses AM and PM) and 0.5 mg orally without the minoxidil (in 2 divided doses AM and PM). HOWEVER, I am using a larger dose of T than you are because I have very high SHBG. I suggest you simply skip the oral dosing at your level of T.

What I meant is if I can use the liquid oral solution to apply on hair? Since I don't imagine I could get the liquid or powdered finasteride.

You can't just use pure alcohol as the solvent, because it evaporates too fast. You'll will end up with flakes of finasteride on your scalp that will never be absorbed.

Here's a protocol for making your own that I found on line. It's not how I do it, but it looks reasonable.

Use 5 mg finasteride pills (Proscar). You will need to pulverize 12 pills and then put the powder into a bottle of 60 ml minoxidil solution. Shake it very hard for 10 minutes. Let the bottle stand still for overnight and pour the clear solution to another bottle for use. The reason why it is recommended to dissolve the powder into a minoxidil solution is that it has right solvent that ensures the good absorption of the topical finasteride.

I've not tried this method but I think it might work. Liquid minoxidil (Rogain or some generic) should be easy to find.
