Senior Member FinallyHT Posted 10 hours ago Senior Member Share Posted 10 hours ago Is there any value in adding topical finasteride if already using oral? doesn’t topical finasteride reduce scalp dht slightly better over oral finasteride?

Senior Member Shadman Posted 8 hours ago Senior Member Share Posted 8 hours ago @FinallyHT In my opinion, if you're already taking oral there's no need to add topical. 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 / 𝐃𝐫.

It will reach the scalp (including all of your scalp hair) so their is no reason to add topical.
