A user shared their positive experience with a hair transplant at Wimpole Clinic, performed by Dr. Malkani, and discussed using finasteride at a reduced dose due to side effects. They also mentioned avoiding minoxidil due to heart pain and taking supplements like biotin, marine collagen, viviscal, and krill oil.

Taking CoQ10 and fish oil supplements may lead to increased body hair growth and a crawling sensation on the scalp and skin. The user suspects these supplements could be linked to hair growth, possibly due to their effects on heart health and cholesterol management.

A 22-year-old shared his 2-month progress using oral Minoxidil (3mg) and Finasteride (1.1mg) for hair regrowth, showing noticeable improvement despite initial side effects like increased heart rate and headaches. Users discussed the effectiveness, side effects, and expectations of these treatments, with some expressing skepticism about the rapid results.

OP is experiencing severe side effects from daily Minoxidil, Dutasteride, and Biotin use and is considering reducing Minoxidil to once or twice a week. A response advised seeing a doctor due to heart-related issues.

A user discusses switching from RU58841 to Pyrilutamide due to side effects like fatigue, brain fog, and elevated heart rate. They have used dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil, and are seeking safer alternatives.

The user checked iron, ferritin, B12, zinc, testosterone, DHT, and estrogens to understand hair loss causes and the effects of dutasteride. They also noted increased heart rate and paleness with oral minoxidil.

The user started with 1mg oral finasteride and 2.5mg oral minoxidil daily in January 2023, but stopped minoxidil due to an elevated heart rate. They then saw regrowth after beginning topical minoxidil and microneedling in early 2024.

The conversation is about a user's experience with finasteride not improving their hair loss and considering dutasteride as a last resort. Some users believe the user's hair appears stabilized, while others suggest surgery or patience, and one mentions heart issues as a reason for not using minoxidil.

A user on finasteride for hair loss is considering topical dutasteride to further reduce scalp DHT and is using various other topicals as substitutes for minoxidil due to concerns about the safety of their cats and potential heart side effects from oral minoxidil. They are exploring whether a once-weekly application of topical dutasteride would be effective.

The user experienced a slight decrease in hair shedding and scalp itch, and reduced sebum production using Pyrilutamide, but stopped due to chest pain, breathing difficulties, and heart issues. They felt normal a week after discontinuing and doubted FDA approval for the drug.
