topical finasteride level of safety for others?
Posted , 1 user is following.
I'm trying to get piece of mind on topical finasteride usage. I was applying a new compound of minoxidil 5% with 0.1% finasteride last week after I'd shower. I wash my hands after applying, but since then I read how pregnant women shouldn't even handle the oral pills.
I am now concerned that I involuntarily touched the dried application area later in the day or at night (just by scratching head, etc.) and then touched things around the house i.e. light switches, door knobs, tv remote, shirts I wore (?)... and now how concerned should I be about my girlfriend (not pregnant) then touching these items, how concerned about this form of "secondhand" contact from the dried 0.1% finasteride for my girlfriend living and touching those same things in the house?
I've changed when/how I'll use this 0.1% finasteride topical solution going forward, but do I need to go around wiping down everything in my apartment just in case I handled it last week? haha... its playing into my OCD, how radioactive is this stuff? hah Thanks anyone!
