Finasteride oral administration without reliable scale

[GruntWerk]

So I have raw and a milligram scale. But I just found it can't be trusted to weigh a mg. Much less half of one as that's where I'd like to start. I then started looking to make a solution and found that 70% ethyl alc and 30% PG(?) would work. I'm also garbage at math.

So my questions are:

1. Is that the correct ratio?
2. What is the correct amount to make for .5mg dosing?
3. What is your typical, daily administration method for an oral solution of this?
4. Anything else I'm missing? You don't know what you don't know.

I appreciate your time and any sources you can bring, as this post will obviously help more than just me.

Bump.

How can your mg scale not be trusted? Read the instruction manual of the scale?

You can weigh .001g with confidence. Calibrate the scale. If it was a new scale off a site or shop, it should come with the correct tools to calibrate + instruction manual in the box.

Calibrate. Weigh your 1mg. Weigh 2mg. Weigh 1mg again. Then separate the granuals. Eye balling it should be pretty easy because its just half.

Several DIY liquid suspension threads have been posted too IN THE steroid homebew section.


THIS IS FOR TOPICAL APPLICATION NOT ORAL
So it gives you an idea of the ratio. You can simply look up the ingredients in which minoxidil is diluted to make a oral finasteride, or just use a high proof alcohol like everclear. (i personally avoid oral minoxidil.)
My go to is mixing it with my kirkland minox.
- 30mg finasteride + 60ml minox = 0.05% fin and 5% minox in 1ml pippet.

there are alot of cheap options for finasteride.
there is no reason to not go pharma for this.

its dangerous

That is basically what I have. It doesn't even register anything until 15-20mg. So relying on it to give me a consistent .001 of a somewhat dangerous drug, regardless of pre-weight or calibration would be stupid for me to do.

And I'm not a chemist. Thus, I am looking for someone who administers it orally in suspension. I'm guessing somebody else has made the stupid decision I've made and had the same issues of not wanting to buy an expensive scale, negating the "savings" of buying it in bulk.

The answer is in the post above. 60ml of (insert solvent here, eg. everclear, or the mixture yoi stated in your first post). All you need is 60ml to suspend 30mg of finasteride. Your scale is completely fine to weigh 30mg of finasteride. So you are in the clear.

So once again:

30mg finasteride + 60ml (suspension liquid) = 0.05% finasteride for every 1ml ingested.

Doesn't make sense when people push some shitty scale to its near limit.


It can cost 10 cents a pill from some of these Indian pharmacies.

Issues with suspension is it can still be inaccurate. It's a snowglobe effect.

The scale weighs 30mg fine, or double the solution? 60mg fin + 120mL (solvent) = 0.05% fin for every 1mL (you can also do half a mL for 0.025%)

The way you word your posts about scales and it being dangerous, same goes for those indian generics selling fin without a Janoshik test. They could very well be over dosed using shitty scales/mixers.

Since user states he has the raw, he has more control over the product rather than buying more fin from india generics. Safest bet is to apply it topically, minimizing the risk which in theory zero. or making a suspension only using half a mL instead of 1mL (using the formula posted above). Lastly would be the indian generics at least with a janoshik test. He already has the raws in-hand, which the source possibly provided a janoshik lab.

Your previous term was suspension, not solution. There is a big difference for safety.

I would beg to differ on indian generics having safety issues. You can always confirm the dosing of the pills with a variance janoshik test if you choose to. The issues with the raw is the dosing and how well you decide to shake the suspension.

We also haven't seen poor testing on LEGIT indian pharma other than HCG.


Can't state much for the indian anabolics (anavar, primo, etc)

I am going to agree with the safest option is topically for these type of raws.

Still, I think the is an unnecessary risk. IDK if OP is in the US but its not hard to even get a script for Pharma fin at 1mg

go pharma. hims.com they send your bottle of dick shrinking pills right to your door, and its only like 20 bucks for 90 pills. good luck

It truthfully amazes me people do not know cross multiplication.

1 ml amount. total liquid ml in bottle
___________ = _______________
Mg in 1ml ("x") total compound in bottle,mg

If you know cross multiplication that's how you do it for 1 ml dropper. Or change left side to .25 ml, .33ml, etc. Or put you unknown, variable on the other side to see how much raws you need for a specific dosage at a specific ml amount.

Might take an hour or less to learn but this simple formula has a wide application in real life situations outside of just this.
