Minoxidil bottle developed crystals, possibly due to air exposure, but the trichologist advised not to worry. The user questions the advice, noting the lack of recommendations for finasteride or derma rolling.
The user is attempting to create a topical finasteride solution by mixing crushed finasteride pills with minoxidil but is facing solubility issues. They are unsure if the finasteride has dissolved properly and are seeking advice on whether it is safe to use and if there is a solution to the problem.
Pyrilutamide's systemic degradation is unclear, unlike fluridil, which becomes inactive in the body. The discussion focuses on whether pyrilutamide shares this property.
RU58841 is being mixed with Minoxidil solution, but concerns arise about water causing instability. Mixing with water may lead to hydrolysis, potentially reducing effectiveness.
A user is making a homemade topical finasteride solution by dissolving crushed finasteride tablets in ethanol and PG. They are unsure if the final solution maintains the intended concentration after filtering and are considering adding more ethanol to ensure accuracy.
Tretinoin remains stable when mixed with minoxidil for months, and its effectiveness is not reduced or disturbed at the molecular level. The discussion focuses on the compatibility of tretinoin with minoxidil in hair loss treatment.
The post discusses issues with Minoxidil BAILLEUL 5% Men, specifically sprayer clogging and crystallization in bottles. Recommendations include rinsing the sprayer and soaking the bottle in hot water to dissolve crystals, with calculations suggesting the product remains effective despite these issues.
OP mixed RU58841 with minoxidil and initially saw crystals, but realized they were bubbles. They asked for advice on application frequency for a 5% solution.
A user noticed a color change in their hair loss solution containing minoxidil, finasteride, retinoic acid, and hydrocortisone after storing it for several months. They are concerned about the effectiveness of the solution due to potential oxidation.
Finasteride and minoxidil together can maintain hair gains for years, but consistency is crucial. Users report improved hair thickness and regrowth with the finasteride and minoxidil combination.
PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.
The conversation is about the effectiveness of RU58841 after stopping its use. The user is concerned about losing results if there's a 4-5 day gap before the next bottle arrives.
The user is using RU58841, dutasteride, and minoxidil for hair loss, storing RU58841 in the fridge and applying it nightly. They report more baby hairs on the temples but are unsure if it's due to new growth or miniaturization, and seek advice on mixing and results from RU58841.
PP405 is anticipated as a future treatment for dormant hair follicles, but its effectiveness and safety are uncertain. Current treatments include oral minoxidil and microneedling, with some avoiding finasteride due to side effects.
There is an inconsistency between the molecular weight and formula listed on EveryChem's product page and the analytical PDFs for 3HP and PP30, suggesting a possible error in the product description. Concerns are raised about EveryChem's business practices and lack of transparency in testing and manufacturing.
The method combines finasteride, minoxidil, intense leg exercises, and cold exposure to treat androgenetic alopecia. It aims to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, enhancing hair growth.
Finasteride may have positive effects by keeping testosterone levels higher, potentially maintaining youthfulness and physical performance as one ages. It could also help with conditions related to aging like andropause and sarcopenia without increasing estradiol levels.
The user has been mixing finasteride with stemoxydine for hair loss and is considering switching to a less expensive product with a different ingredient list. They are questioning if the new product's higher water content compared to alcohol will affect the finasteride's solubility.
A user experienced a "watery belly" and cellulite after starting finasteride, despite maintaining a disciplined fitness routine. Others suggest checking hormone levels, as changes in DHT and estrogen could affect fat metabolism, but age might also be a factor.
The conversation discusses two methods for making topical finasteride: using ethanol and propylene glycol or mixing it with topical minoxidil. The focus is on solubility and absorption, with a suggestion to crush pills finely and possibly mix with minoxidil at a slightly elevated temperature.
Whether Finasteride can keep alive the hair gained by Minoxidil after quitting it, and why beard hairs are not as susceptible to miniaturization. It is suggested that scalp hair may be dependent on Minoxidil and that DHT could be countered with Finasteride to some extent, but there is no definitive data proving this.
A user shared their progress using liquid minoxidil for hair regrowth and plans to switch to foam minoxidil due to flaking. They asked if the foam version would maintain their results and mentioned considering adding finasteride and a derma pen soon.
Mixing minoxidil and alfatradiol in one bottle may affect their effectiveness due to potential stability issues. It's recommended to apply them separately for full benefits.
A user mixed a pyrilutamide solution and noticed undissolved powder at the bottom, questioning if this is normal and how long to wait before applying it. They wished others good luck with their treatments.
PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.
The conversation is about using distilled water as a solvent for topical finasteride to reduce systemic absorption. The user is considering avoiding ethanol and propylene glycol to achieve this.
Liquid minoxidil makes hair sticky and stiff; users suggest oral minoxidil or minoxidil foam as alternatives. Applying minoxidil four hours before showering can help with absorption.
