Hi there, I have been losing my hair for a few years. I have been recommended minoxidil and Finasteride lotion (topical Finasteride). Could you kindly tell me if topical Finasteride works? And is it normal to shed a lot in the first 3 months? Many thanks.
Answer: Topical finasteride There are many ways that topical finasteride can be made up. So one should never think there is one kind of topical finasteride. But does it work? For some males, yes, absolutely. One also needs to consider the concentration of the finasteride that gets put into it. It ranges a great great deal. Shedding can occur with any treatment for male balding that actually works.

Answer: Topical finasteride There are few different compound formulations. They are not Over-the-Counter drugs which can be purchased without a prescription. Only few pharmacies in Italy are able to make it. The most common is the Finasteride Liposomal Gel. The liposomal vehicle has a high penetration capacity through the epidermis and it’s able to keep the drug locally in the skin for long time. It has a good aesthetic outcome and it doesn’t make the hair greasy. I have not seen hair loss caused by this compound
