Is there any value in adding topical finasteride if already using oral?

doesn’t topical finasteride reduce scalp dht slightly better over oral finasteride?

Age: 40

Hairloss began at age 23. 

Oral Finasteride 1mg daily since 2006, Topical Minoxidil since 2012. Hair transplant 3,400 grafts 2019. Second hair transplant 2,400 grafts in 2023.

@FinallyHT If you are tolerating oral finasteride then it is going systemic in your body through the liver. It will reach the scalp (including all of your scalp hair) so their is no reason to add topical. All the best.
