the problem with this transdermally could be that it's biphasic - I posted about it, see https://www.journal-of-hepatology.eu/article/S0168-8278(07)61934-5/pdf, so transdermally we wouldn't have any idea on safe dosage.
also @WhyThis, according to that, 500mg was optimal, 2000mg was slightly too much for an average human.

I would always go with the lower dose transdermally. 
So much we intake orally get's lost in the stomach and other transfers through the blood and organs, that a 1-1 comparison might not apply. Though with most substances toxic amounts are known.

Could you say what biphasic in relation to transdermal delivery means in a rather simple way? ;)

biphasic means that at sufficiently low doses, it is effective, but as the dose increases, the response changes, it starts to have the opposite effect and gets worse. Like alcohol (maybe)  ;) Transdermally, if it works, you would be delivering a vastly higher tissue concentration to the local tissue for a dose meant to be used orally. So it would need to be scaled down, but how much is impossible to quantify.

Just wanted to see if anyone is considering this either orally or transdermally.

For a lot of us it is an autoimmune disease causing it.

Quote from: Hontas on August 30, 2019, 09:01:38 AM
Whyisthishappening,

This isn't an autoimmune disease, it is an autoinflammatory one. The best bet is drugs like Colchicine or biologics that are used to lower certain types of inflammatory cytokines. I have had problems communicating with the doctors in that retrospect and taking immune suppressive drugs will not be the solution from what i know theoretically, as there isn't any antibody being produced if you have a negative autoimmune marker test. Its all about DAMP and PAMP overreaction and response and a bit of underlying genetics that makes you vulnerable to mutation and myofibroblast differentiation. But you can at least try it. Colchicine is a mixed drug for me as i am not sure if it actually helps, as i had severe side effects and had to stop the treatment right now for my own life's sake and i am not even sure if lower doses help by lowering inflammation or make it worse over time by delaying healing. I have realised while taking colchicine that i have a lot of minor scar spots in other places and i am not sure if colchicine is actually returning them back to acute to dissolve them or simply just creates them. First one has a higher chance of happening and i am just betting right now to be honest.

A lot of success treating pulmonary fibrosis with nintedanib and pirfenidone. Also ACE drug Lofarin been shown to stop and reverse fibrosis. Why no one trying it for Peyronie’s?

@Michiganguy19, I don't have access to those drugs otherwise I would try them but I bet they have nasty side effects also?

I've tried monk fruit extract which is supposed to reduce pulmonary fibrosis but that didn't do anything for my peyronies.

Here is the study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28280123/

Age, 40's.

Had peyronie's for more than 10 years. Developed glans lump, then had poor erections and soft glans.

Made a lot of progress over the years with diet and avoidance of sugar and high carbs. Still have the lump but it's much smaller now.

Did you have an easy reason to get it, or did you find a very understanding doctor who was willing to experiment?
