Topical finasteride transition to finasteride pill

I've been taking topical finasteride for about a year and want to transition to the pill form just because it's a bit more convenient. Can I just stop the topical and start taking the pill the next day? I wasn't sure if there's a taper off period with how finasteride is absorbed into the body with topical vs. pill.

I have no studies to back up but I would suggest a transition period from topical to oral of about 7 days just to ensure there is no drop in the finasteride in your scalp.

You could ask whoever prescribes your meds.
