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.
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.
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.
Chinese company gets green light for Pyrilutamide Phase II trial for androgenetic alopecia. Androgenreceptors downregulate in androgen deficient environments.
The conversation discusses using ketoconazole, an anti-androgen, for hair loss and whether mesotherapy with dermarolling could enhance its absorption into the scalp. The user questions if the typical 2% ketoconazole shampoo dose would be effective when used after dermarolling to target androgenreceptors in the scalp.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A user is experiencing continued hair loss despite using 0.5mg dutasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil, and is seeking advice on why the treatments aren't working and how to address potential androgenreceptor sensitivity. Replies suggest getting tested and considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP).
The conversation discusses doubts about the effectiveness of topical finasteride for hair loss, suggesting that DHT could be produced elsewhere in the body and affect the scalp. It proposes that androgenreceptor antagonists like spironolactone and clascoterone might be more effective as they could prevent this potential bypass mechanism.
Pyrilutamide is believed to be more effective than RU58841 and 1 mg finasteride in treating hair loss, with no systemic hormonal effects and the potential to block more than 31% of scalp DHT. It may also antagonize scalp testosterone due to its action as an androgenreceptor antagonist.
Fluridil, also known as Topilutamide or Eucapil, is discussed as a treatment for hair loss. It is noted as an androgenreceptor antagonist, not a vasodilator.
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgenreceptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
Pyrilutamide, a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug under development for the potential treatment of androgenic alopecia. The conversation discusses its binding affinity to the androgenreceptor and the timeline for possible availability after trials are completed in the United States and China.
Hair loss treatments discussed include Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, and Nizoral shampoo. Nizoral's effectiveness is debated, with some suggesting it works as a weak antagonist for androgenreceptors, while others attribute its benefits to anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
