    GlossaryBusulfan

    chemotherapy drug used to treat certain cancers

    Busulfan is a chemotherapy drug primarily used to treat certain types of cancer, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). It works by interfering with the DNA inside cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. However, it can also cause side effects like hair loss (alopecia) and damage to bone marrow, which is why its use is carefully monitored by healthcare professionals.

      community What makes breezula different than formula 82f?

      in Question  9 upvotes 6 years ago
      Breezula (clascoterone) and Formula 82F (topical finasteride) are treatments for hair loss that block DHT differently; Breezula competes with DHT at the hormone receptor site without systemic effects, while 82F inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. Breezula may work for those who don't respond to finasteride and vice versa.
