0.1% topical finesteride 2x per day. Is it too much?

Treatments Finasteride

Hey guys,

I did my hair transplant in mid 2023 and was put on 1mg oral finesteride and 5% topical minox, which I continued until the last month and left because of bad brain fog.

Upon asking my doctor for recommendation, he told me to try topical finesteride and I found this minoxidil solution which includes 0.1% finesteride as well.

Do I continue using this solution 2x a day with a 12 hours gap or drop it down to just 1 time a day?

My doctor unfortunately is least bothered in replying me on time/showing any seriousness as it’s been quite a while since I got the HT from him, hence I thought I’d ask the fine folks here.

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

I personally wouldn’t worry about it. There’s a lot of research on .25% formulations and it seems fairly conservative. If you are concerned try it 1x daily for a few months.

Thank you for putting my mind to ease. Will start with 1x a day. Do you have any tips on transitioning from oral to topical fin?

No prob. Just switch, people overthink their treatments, there’s infinitely more variation in your body than there is in how you’re delivering the finasteride
