5 / 161 resultscommunity Could the salicylic acid in my Nioxin shampoo reduce minoxidil effectiveness?
Salicylic acid in Nioxin shampoo may reduce minoxidil effectiveness by inhibiting sulfotransferase activity, potentially causing hair loss. Users suggest stopping salicylic acid use or trying alternative treatments like high-concentration tretinoin or medicated minoxidil/finasteride shampoos.
community What happens if you combine dutasteride and a aromataze inhibitor?
Combining dutasteride and an aromatase inhibitor may increase testosterone levels significantly, potentially enhancing athletic performance but also posing health risks like elevated blood pressure and worsened cholesterol. The user is experimenting with dutasteride, anastrozole, minoxidil, and ketoconazole shampoo to manage hair loss and estradiol levels, while monitoring side effects and hormone levels.
community A warning to those thinking about using Dutasteride
The potential risks of long-term use of Dutasteride and how it may be linked to elevated liver enzymes, cholesterol levels, and decreased testosterone. Alternative treatments such as Finasteride and RU58841 were also discussed.
community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???
The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
community Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis
Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.
