This invention provides a topical
finasteride formulation and its preparation method, belonging to the field of
pharmaceutical formulation technology. The topical
finasteride formulation provided by this invention is a topical
dosage form, comprising
finasteride and excipients; after
scalp administration, the concentration in hair follicles and the epidermis is 999-5021 pg / mL, and the
systemic blood concentration is 17.1-178.9 pg / mL; the
systemic blood concentration is 1-10% of that of oral finasteride formulations. The method involves preparing finasteride and excipients, followed by steps of dissolving / preparing the matrix, fine
filtration / homogenization, and filling to obtain finasteride topical formulations of different dosage forms. This invention effectively solves the shortcomings of existing finasteride formulations, such as high
systemic absorption, high risk of adverse reactions, and difficulty in industrializing the process, making it suitable for large-scale clinical application in androgenetic alopecia, combining
efficacy and safety.
