A user is seeking alternatives to finasteride for hair loss during a planned break for family planning reasons. They inquire about pyrilutamide, cosmern, and other potential future treatments.
A user is experiencing facial bloating from low-dose topical finasteride due to high estradiol levels and is seeking advice on using DIM to manage this issue, including dosage and brand recommendations.
The user cannot tolerate oral finasteride and is considering topical finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and RU58841 as alternative treatments for hair loss. They seek advice on whether these options are worth trying.
Discussing results, side effects and potential sources of pyrilutamide for hair loss treatment alongside RU58841 and other treatments such as Minoxidil and finasteride.
The conversation discusses the mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol) in treating hair loss. It explores theories that it either inhibits 5 alpha reductase to prevent T->DHT conversion or aromatizes scalp T into 17-alpha-estradiol to save hair.
The conversation is about finding a legitimate source for RU58841 in Germany, with suggestions including Receptorchem and GeneTherica. Anageninc and Chemyo do not deliver to Germany.
The user has been using 1.5mg finasteride daily for four months and added minoxidil with a dermaroller for one month but stopped due to eye floaters. There is some improvement in hair regrowth, and suggestions include continuing treatment, using ketoconazole shampoo, and considering other supplements like vitamin D, saw palmetto, and biotin.
The user was rejected from participating in a clinical trial for an extended-release oral Minoxidil due to having rheumatoid arthritis, despite initially being accepted. They had stopped using Dutasteride and Minoxidil to qualify but continued using other treatments like RU58841 and red light therapy.
Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.
The conversation discusses sourcing Topilutamide (fluridil) as a treatment for hair loss, with users comparing it to RU58841 and finasteride. Users share their experiences with various treatments, including testosterone, DHT gel, and Proviron, while expressing difficulty in finding Topilutamide.
The user is currently using finasteride and minoxidil and is considering adding microneedling and either RU58841 or Pyrilutamide for potential hair regrowth. They previously used microneedling, RU58841, and oral minoxidil before their hair transplant.
GHK-Cu is a potent inhibitor of the type 1 5-alpha reductase enzyme in hair follicles, which may reduce hair loss without the side effects associated with type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. The user previously experienced side effects with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and is considering GHK-Cu as an alternative.
A user applied pyrilutamide for 6 months without hair regrowth and is considering stopping due to cost and lack of results. Another user suggests switching to finasteride, which is cheaper and has shown regrowth for them.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment that may outperform minoxidil and finasteride by growing thick hair in bald areas within four weeks. Its release is expected around 2028, but concerns about its long-term efficacy and cost remain.
The conversation discusses using topical Calcipotriol and Valproic Acid for hair loss, focusing on their mechanisms involving the VDR receptor and Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Specific treatments mentioned are Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
Pyrilutamide shows minimal systemic absorption with low plasma levels and no accumulation, suggesting it's unlikely to cause systemic side effects. However, full results are not yet published in scientific journals.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment advancing quickly in trials, generating excitement and skepticism about its effectiveness and marketing claims. Some see it as a potential alternative to minoxidil and finasteride, but concerns about long-term effects and the need for DHT blockers persist.
PP405 may induce new hair growth but cannot revive completely dead follicles, and its effectiveness on hairlines is uncertain. It is expected to be available by mid-2028, but users are advised to manage expectations and consider using other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of RU58841 and pyrilutamide for hair loss treatment. It seeks personal success or failure stories and scientific data on these treatments.
The conversation discusses the potential role of prolactin in hair loss and mentions treatments like HMI115, mucuna pruriens, Zinc, and B6 P5P for lowering prolactin levels. It also touches on the use of natural compounds and the lack of studies due to funding issues.
The conversation discusses using RU58841 for hair loss, with OP experiencing thinning in the front area and steady hair loss. OP plans to try microneedling while avoiding finasteride and dutasteride.
Topical androgen receptorantagonists may not be necessary if 5-AR inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride effectively reduce DHT levels. Combining a 5-AR inhibitor with a topical androgen antagonist could potentially enhance treatment, but oral use of androgen antagonists is too risky due to severe side effects.
Considering adding Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to a hair loss prevention regimen; discussing the effectiveness of LLLT, and evaluating double-blind random-controlled trials that have been conducted on laser combs.
