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.
The post discusses using 2% ketoconazole shampoo as a competitive androgenreceptor antagonist for hair loss, applied for 1.5 hours daily. The user questions its effectiveness and potential benefits compared to finasteride and minoxidil.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Pyrilutamide is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, acting as an androgenreceptor antagonist. The conversation questions if it can maintain hair long-term without using finasteride.
Breezula shows promise in stabilizing hair loss and potentially promoting regrowth at the one-year mark, offering hope for those who can't tolerate 5AR inhibitors. Its local targeting of androgenreceptors could be a significant advancement if it avoids systemic side effects.
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.
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.
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.
Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgenreceptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.
Exploring hair loss treatments beyond DHT, including Minoxidil, pyruvate, Gt20029 targeting androgenreceptors, and vasodilators. Other options like Kx826, adenosine signaling, growth factor topicals, and microneedling are also discussed.
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 whether creatine causes hair loss for those using finasteride or dutasteride, with some suggesting creatine might increase DHT or upregulate androgenreceptors, potentially leading to hair loss. Others argue the evidence is not conclusive, citing limited studies and personal anecdotes, with some avoiding creatine as a precaution.
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgenreceptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
Experimenting with trestolone as a treatment for hair loss in an attempt to avoid DHT-related treatments such as finasteride and dutasteride, and discussing the potential effects of its receptor selectivity on the androgenreceptors in the scalp.
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.
The conversation discusses the removal of Breezula phase II 12-month results by Cassiopea and the search for the original data. Concerns were raised about potential negative long-term effects on hair growth, such as androgenreceptor upregulation.
