Effective Combination Therapy with High Concentration of Minoxidil and Carboxygas in Resistant Androgenetic Alopecia: Report of Nine Cases

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

The conversation is about the lack of improvement in hair loss after using Pyrilutamide for 14 weeks, with the original poster unable to use Finasteride due to depression. Replies suggest that Pyrilutamide, like RU58841, may not work for everyone, and a more potent drug is being developed by Kintor.

Minoxidil is discussed as a hair loss treatment, with concerns about potential eye issues. Some users express skepticism about these claims, while others emphasize the long-standing use of Minoxidil.

The user is using RU58841, Minoxidil, and weekly microneedling for hair loss, having stopped finasteride due to side effects like low libido and depression. They are considering dutasteride as an alternative but are cautious due to past experiences with DHT blockers.

Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for significant hair regrowth, with many users experiencing limited results or side effects, leading them to add finasteride or dutasteride for better outcomes. Some users report initial improvements with minoxidil but eventually require additional treatments to maintain or enhance hair growth.

The user has been using topical minoxidil with tretinoin for 9 months without much regrowth and suspects finasteride is responsible for any improvement. They are inquiring about tests to determine response to topical minoxidil and seeking advice on switching to oral minoxidil, including potential side effects and monitoring requirements.
