Help on Topical Finasteride 0.3% treatment

[Dedivad]

Hi guys,

My doctor has prescribed me a topical lotion with:
- Minoxidil 3%
- Finasteride 0.3%
- Progesterone 1%
- Hydrocortisone butyrate 0,1%
- Ketoconazolo 0,5%
He said to apply 2ml before going to bed.

This is not my first treatment, I've been using Minoxidil since 2021 (2% then 5%).
Since January 2023 I've been using a lotion very similar to the above mentioned but without Finasteride and a supplement with ajuga reptans (natural anti-dht)

2ml of the new lotion every day it's equivalent to apply 6mg of Finasteride on the scalp. Is it not too much? How much will go sistemic?

Maybe should I put just 1ml or even less?

Before starting the new treatment I will do blood test and spermiogram to have a baseline. Also I will stop the natural anti-dht supplement.

I really need some suggestions! Thanks.

0.3% is high that’s like taking 3mg tablet per day.

No trial research showed 0,25% finasteride alchohol based vehicule is same as 1mg oral regarding dht reduction in blood

That's a good compound you are taking.

Where did you get the 1% Progesterone from?

I would stick to topical. I've been using it and so far no side effects.
