So Why Would Any Sane Person Take Finesteride Orally If It's Available Topically?

1. Doesn't destroy your dick, gains in the gym and turn you into an incel

2. less early shedding as well?

Because of the inconvenience and because they have about the same safety profile.

This is completely contradictory to what I heard but I am not well versed on this.

Is there any scientific studies to back this? It seems unlikely the side effects would be anywhere close if it didn't have the exact same potency in the blood stream

Finasteride isn't an anti-androgen it is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, once in the blood stream it will attach anywhere where that enzyme is present so the sides should be the comparable because it's inhibiting the conversion of T to DHT. With RU58841 the mode of action is different so a little being in the blood stream the sides should be more tolerated (in principle) because it's still converting T to DHT just not in the scalp because you're inhibiting T and DHT, theoretically speaking that is.

iirc studies show topical still goes systematic. Just a bit slower. So really there’s no difference.

+ im 17 and been on propecia 1 mg since 16. No sides.

Because for most its a f*****g hassle and incredibly expensive in comparison unless you want to source your own finasteride powder and make your own.

Also as for gym gains.. finasteride makes no difference in gaining muscle. The only physique change would be a potential increase in BF% due to the moderate increase in estrogen.

I have been using RU for years with K&B Solution as a vehicle. I have maintained when on RU. I am on it about 8 out of 12 months as it is difficult to travel with and I travel a lot for work.

Speaking of which, I have 4 brand new bottles of K&B Solution 50ML that I paid $26 ea for. If anyone is interested, I would be willing to sell them for half price, 4 x 50ML K&B Solution for $50 USD. I am going to be travelling with work from August - September and maybe October so would rather sell and repurchase when I know I will be back home.

Just PM me or let me know. I have PayPal and can send you pictures of the bottles I have etc.
