In my opinion, the proper way to view this would be that oral finasteride has a low-moderate risk of side effects whereas topical finasteride has a very low low risk of side effects. But to assume the risk is zero would not be accurate. First, a very small amount is absorbed into the blood stream when topical finasteride is used. This may be 1/10th to 1/20th of the amount that would be absorbed if pills were used. Second, all men differ in sensitivity to DHT reductions.
