What is Finasteride?
Finasteride is a competitive 5α-reductase Type II inhibitor — reduces testosterone-to-DHT conversion by ~70%. Research tool for androgenetic alopecia, BPH, DHT-mediated tissue biology, and T vs DHT pharmacology. Large-scale powder for high-throughput 5α-reductase inhibition research and formulation development. Research use only.
