A couple of people have said they use a topical form of dutasteride. I was wondering if they made there own or purchased it. I have seen a 'recipe' that says half a capsule with 35g of pure aloe gel. This is rubbed in fror 2 or 3 min after a shower.
There have been discussions regarding frequency of useage and the following may be ofinterst to some.
"The durability of the dutasteride molecule brings up another interesting aspect that you might all want to consider as well. I read an exchange between a group of doctors and questioners on another hair loss web site in which the patients were directly challenging the doctors as to whether there was really a need to use Avodart every day since the half life was 230+ hours. That meant the drug was really going to be there doing it's job for about 3 weeks, and that it would far less expensive to take Avodart maybe only every few days or once per week and still get the same results. The doctors at first rejected this idea with a brush-off kind of answer, but after some of the questioners told them they were full of crap the doctors recanted and suggested that users could go with a lower dosage each day. After further ridicule the doctors finally gave in and agreed with the conclusion, and even made a specific statement that scientifically speaking, one Avodart every 4 days would in fact produce the same results due to the extremely long half-life, and it would be a lot less expensive for the users.
Of course there were follow-up comments that this is probably why Glaxo halted the tests for Avodart as a hair loss drug, since people would discover they could take far less of this super-durable drug and get better results than with Propecia (with its half life of only 6 hours), which Glaxo is currently selling for about $2/day per user. So releasing Avodart as an official hair loss drug would potentially create a substantial loss of recurring revenue for the company. In other words, their new drug is too good".

It doesn't work that way, and this is something I've been trying to get across to people literally for years on various hairloss sites, ever since Avodart first came out.
