Topical spironolactone is available in the UK for men to block androgenreceptors locally. The user seeks opinions or experiences from others who have used it.
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be influenced by androgenreceptors in scalp hair follicles and potentially poor blood flow. Transplanted hair is not immune to DHT, and factors like inflammation and scalp tension might also contribute to hair loss.
Combining spironolactone with koshine might enhance the effect of blocking androgenreceptors for hair loss treatment. The user suggests adding crushed spironolactone pills to koshine.
The user emphasizes hydration, androgenreceptors, and a 7-day ejaculation recovery period for appearance enhancement. They suggest Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss, along with a diet rich in animal fats, specific exercises, and fasting.
GT20029 and pyrilutamide are both androgen antagonists but work differently; GT20029 degrades the androgenreceptor, while pyrilutamide blocks DHT from binding. GT20029 is expected to have similar efficacy to CosmeRNA.
GT20029 is discussed as a potential treatment for androgenetic hair loss by targeting androgenreceptors, unlike finasteride which reduces DHT broadly. Concerns include its effectiveness, genetic variations in androgenreceptors, and availability, with some skepticism about its potential as a true alternative.
The GT20029 tincture, a topical androgenreceptor degrader, showed significant hair growth and good safety in a China Phase II trial for male androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with the 1% dose twice weekly identified as optimal. The company plans to initiate Phase III trials in China and Phase II in the U.S., and the treatment also shows promise for acne.
Fluridil was abandoned due to its weak effectiveness and low binding affinity to the androgenreceptor, making it less competitive against DHT and testosterone. Users discuss its limited results compared to other treatments like pyrilutamide and RU58841.
GT20026 is discussed as a potential treatment for hair loss that targets androgenreceptors without affecting hormone levels, but it may not promote significant regrowth. It is expected to be available by 2028, with other treatments like Breezula and Clascoterone also mentioned.
Finasteride can cause oily skin and acne due to increased testosterone or sensitivity of androgenreceptors. Some users find dutasteride results in less oily skin compared to finasteride.
Breezula's phase 3 results are expected soon, with discussions on the effectiveness of androgenreceptor antagonists like spironolactone and the potential of GT20029. Users express skepticism about new treatments and discuss the complexities of male pattern baldness, often relying on finasteride despite its side effects.
The conversation discusses GT20029, a drug in Phase II trials that targets androgenreceptors with minimal systemic effects, and TDM-105795, a growth stimulant with a different mechanism than minoxidil that may revive papilla stem cells. Both are potential new treatments for hair loss.
The conversation discusses GT20029, a compound by Kintor Pharma that degrades androgenreceptors and is in trials, with potential as a hair loss cure. Another promising treatment mentioned is an antibody that blocks prolactin and has shown positive results in macaques.
Hopeful treatments for hair loss, including Verteporfin, AndrogenReceptor Degradation, and SCUBE3. These treatments offer potential solutions to slow or stop the effects of androgens on the scalp.
GT20029 is a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia, addressing the root cause by targeting androgenreceptors, unlike Minoxidil or Finasteride. It is seen as a preventative measure rather than a regrowth agent, with hopes for market release soon.
Chinese company gets green light for Pyrilutamide Phase II trial for androgenetic alopecia. Androgenreceptors downregulate in androgen deficient environments.
Quercetin might help with hair loss by inhibiting HSP-70, which increases androgenreceptors. Concerns include its staining properties and unclear topical absorption.
The conversation discusses using finasteride or dutasteride to reduce DHT, CosmeRNA to target androgenreceptors, and Minoxidil as a vasodilator for hair growth. The regimen aims to maintain hair by addressing DHT-AR ratio and continuous Minoxidil use.
The conversation discusses GT20029 as a potential hair loss treatment that could act like a cure by targeting androgenreceptors in scalp hair follicles. Specific treatments mentioned include GT20029, with a user expressing hope that it could make male pattern baldness obsolete.
Cutting sugar may not significantly impact hair loss, as DHT and androgenreceptors are the main issues. Effective treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil, often combined with microneedling.
The conversation discusses maintaining hair regrowth using minoxidil and finasteride and whether using gt20029, which degrades androgenreceptors, would affect this. Fluridil, a similar treatment, can disable over 90% of active androgenreceptors.
GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgenreceptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.
Clascoterone 5% solution shows strong potential for hair growth, offering a new treatment for alopecia with minimal side effects. It blocks androgenreceptors locally and may be available by late 2026 or early 2027.
Clascoterone shows promising results for hair regrowth in men with androgenetic alopecia, with potential FDA approval by 2026. It acts as a topical androgenreceptor blocker, offering a new treatment option with minimal side effects compared to existing treatments like finasteride.
Some people have side effects from finasteride and dutasteride due to hormonal predisposition, especially if DHT dominant. Alternatives like RU58841, Pyrilutamide, and Breezula are suggested to target scalp androgenreceptors without altering overall hormones.
RU58841 is discussed as a hair loss treatment, with concerns about its effectiveness diminishing after two years due to androgenreceptor upregulation. The user is hesitant to start using it, fearing it may worsen their condition over time.
KX-826 is being discussed for hair loss treatment, with users debating between 0.5% and 0.9% solutions and foam. Some report side effects like headaches, while others see no changes; it blocks androgenreceptors without reducing DHT levels.
PP405 and GT20029 are new hair loss treatments with different mechanisms from traditional options like Minoxidil and Finasteride. PP405 targets hair follicle stem cells to reactivate growth, while GT20029 works as an androgenreceptor deleter, both requiring ongoing use for effectiveness.
RU58841 worsened hair condition, causing thinning and unusual patterns. The user stopped using it two months ago but hasn't seen recovery, and there's speculation about androgenreceptor upregulation.
