Finasteride at 1mg vs 5mg. Topical vs oral minoxidil. Why post-finasteride syndrome is real but rarer than you’ve been told. What the trials actually showed at 5 years.
Topical finasteride exists. It cuts your scalp DHT by ~64-70% — close to oral — but only drops your blood DHT by ~34.5%. Less systemic exposure, fewer reported side effects, similar hair retention.
You've been on r/Tressless for three weeks. Half the threads say finasteride saved their hairline. The other half say it killed their libido for life.
Your hairline isn't fading because of stress. It's fading because DHT is shrinking the follicles.
Your finasteride doesn't care which name is on the bottle. The DHT inhibition is identical. What differs: the price, the manufacturer's track record, and whether the pharmacy is actually licensed.
Dutasteride isn't "safer than finasteride." It isn't "newer." It's stronger.
Hims charges $22 a month for finasteride. The active ingredient, at Indian generic wholesale, is a fraction of a cent per pill. The other $21-and-change isn't medicine.
Oral minoxidil at 2.5mg/day grows about as much hair as 5mg/day, with fewer side effects, and costs about $23/month routed.
It's week 6. You're shedding more than before you started. Pillow looks worse. Drain looks worse. The mirror panic is real.
