Is Topical Finasteride Worth Trying Or Not?

[20YearsOnFin]

Not sure why peplo keep using it orally .

I guess For the same reasons that have already been noted.

ease of use and the fact some people are probably apprehensive about having finasteride externally in their hair, while performing WWE moves on the kids.

Nah it wasnt finasteride it was topical dutasteride. It was from Murray avenue apothecary, So expensive jesus f*****g Christ. Took it orally and topically, and now use generic pills from Bangladesh. No difference whatsoever in sides or effectivness.

Why would it be any different though?

Murray can probably only source their dutasteride for topicals, from India, Bangladesh or china etc. as they are the only kind of places that manufacture it and sell it to 3rd parties at an affordable cost.

Where were you expecting the Murray dutasteride to be from?

if you have only been taking dutasteride orally for a short while, its unlikely you have enough hair on your scalp that's 100% dutasteride dependent at this stage anyway so the chances of you noticing a perceptible difference between any manufacturing variances is also far less unlikely.

I don't really understand why you would be expecting to see a difference in your situation? or what you think experiencing no difference after only a couple of years use proves? its really too short of a time to draw any conclusions from.

8 months on Murray Avenues dutasteride orally and topically, low sperm production, no scalp itch, no burning sensation on scalp, no results. And 8 months on dutasteride from Bangladesh no scalp itch,no burning sensation very low sperm production, no hair shedding. No results. Only result is no more recession of hairline or thinning of front. But No thickening. I asked Murray they said they use high quality pharma grade dutasteride btw.

Gonna quit this Bangladesh cheap *** dutasteride I just don't trust it. Cost like 3 dollars per back of 28 pills it's ridiculously cheap in Bangladesh. Going back to expensive duta from USA instead Im just shedding. Topical dutasteride makes me shed oral dutasteride makes me shed i believe I have achieved maintenance at least but hope the USA duta stops my shedding. Dht is way worse than T for hair so I should see a reduction in hairloss despite the increase in T on oral duta or topical. But atm I don't so it don't make sense at all.

You guys could very well use fake dutasteride or of bad quality. im switching back to expensive dutasteride from US, I currently use dutasteride pills that is made in bangladesh very cheap pills cost like 3 bux for 28 pills over there, I dont trust it no more and think the quality could be worse than the expensive US duta.

@losingbattle88 Why write things like these panicked rants above then, then a few months later change your tune and downvote guys for saying what i'm saying, either make your mind up or admit you don't know what you are talking about.

Nobody can keep up with what you actually believe Because you keep yoyoing back and forth from one month to the next.

Ive taken Generic finasteride for 15years out of the 22 years I've been on it..

what are you trying to say exactly? would I be taking generic finasteride for all that time if it didn't think it worked?

 

[20YearsOnFin]

Yes of course...........they use high quality pharma grade dutasteride..............From India, Bangladesh or China.

Ur lucky to maintain only on fina orally and use nothing else. I envy you.

Bangladesh get their drugs from india, they dont make it themselves.

I know I've already said the api market is controlled by India & China in all my posts, I've researched all this back in 2014,

I was just covering my bases, incase you were going to fire back at me............... ''its not from India its from Bangladesh''

 

[20YearsOnFin]

So is your only experience with Dutasteride.......... been from taking Indian Dutasteride?

What difference does that make? I have the Common Side effect of no sperm production or low production, I shot out just a drop a few days ago. Also my itchy scalp tingles and shedding stopped. Using brand wouldnt make a difference. I cant get it prescribed anyway for hairloss its not even fda approved for hairloss, its used for prostate cancer. Sweden is very strict.

Side effects don't prove that all dutasteride sold on the planet is equally effective......it just proves its not fake... which in itself is useless to know ' because nobody is claiming its fake anyway (apart from yourself in the post above )

Also my itchy scalp tingles and shedding stopped

I don't know what you are saying? if your shedding has stopped why are you saying in multiple posts its not working?

Using brand wouldnt make a difference.

You can't actually make that statement until you have tried it.

Currently what you have been saying in some of your posts is you brought some $3 dutasteride (sourced from India), and you also brought some ripoff US dutasteride (also sourced from India) and funnily enough both work exactly the same which is hardly an amazing coincidence seeing as the raw ingredients for both may well come from exactly the same source.

I cant get it prescribed anyway for hair loss its not even fda approved for hairloss,

Again I don't understand your logic? the fact that its not FDA approved in Sweden doesn't seem to have stopped you taking dutasteride for the last couple years has it?

Its your hair at the end of the day, so do what you want, I'm obviously not 100% pro brand name drugs otherwise I wouldn't be on what I'm on now.

It just annoys me when people spend $3 on cheapest crap they can find, then choose to argue that they know for a 100% fact its exactly the same quality as another product they have never even tried.

feel free to downvote as much as you want.....

I trust your opinion only because of your vast experience with finasteride.But at the end of the day everything is very subjective only because we dont know what is real and what its not unless we get a lab involved.
I remember an article at NYT,people complaining to their Drs that some versions of finasteride didn't work as well and they were at a loss themselves.

Coming from a guy who buys $3 dutasteride from Bangladesh I'll take that as an compliment.

By effectivness you mean blocking DHT. Thats the main goal here, And only goal. Avodarts most Common side effect is low semen production and ejaculation disorder which I have on my generic pills and on my us dutasteride. This proves it blocks DHT. Just shut up already.

 

[20YearsOnFin]

I still find it funny that you have written the crap below about your beloved Banglasteride, but now all of a sudden its defiantly just as good as avodart lol......

, bI'm gonna use the dutasteride from Murray Avenue apothecary again when I get it in a few weeks and hope for the best. Because I was on it for 5.5 month's then switched to Bangladesh generic dutasteride capsules from unimed unihealth. That I bought from minoxidillexpress. I don't trust it much think it could be worse quality.

This packaging looks legit. Their company exist and street adress but I'm still worried they are fakes or of bad quality since they most likely buy their dutasteride powder from China or India. What u guys think?

Im not looking through them, I've read them before...........

Why do you think im having this back and forth with you?

its because I know you have previously said the opposite, from what you are saying now about generics...
