The conversation discusses a topical finasteride therapy with hydrocortisone butyrate, estrone base, and breviline. A user suggests oral finasteride as a superior option.
An 18-year-old is using a high-dose hair loss treatment regimen including finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, and plans to add RU58841 and bimatoprost, despite warnings from others about the risks. The user is determined to reverse hair loss but acknowledges the potential dangers and does not recommend others follow their approach.
RU58841, an anti-androgenic compound, showed early promise for treating alopecia but faced challenges after its patent in 1997. Despite advancing to Phase II trials, safety concerns and financial struggles led Aventis to abandon its development. Proskelia, which later merged into ProStrakan, couldn't prioritize the drug, leading to its eventual stagnation and failure to reach the market.
Dutasteride at 0.5 mg/day does not significantly alter allopregnanolone levels, but higher doses (2.5 mg/day) do. Dutasteride may also have anti-neuroinflammatory effects, but the impact on neurosteroids is still debated.
People discuss adding RU58841 to their hair loss treatment, which includes dutasteride and minoxidil. Experiences vary, with some reporting positive results and others experiencing no benefits or side effects.
A user is using topical dutasteride, topical finasteride, and minoxidil to address a receding hairline and is seeking opinions on their routine. They report seeing vellus hair growth after nearly three months of use.
The user switched to oral Dutasteride, added RU58841, and used Ketoconazole-enriched Minoxidil but still experiences scalp itch and hair loss after 4 months. They are advised to give Dutasteride more time, consider seeing a dermatologist, and explore other topical solutions.
RU58841 is being discussed for its effects on hair loss. The user has started using RU58841 with finasteride and is curious about its potential for hair maintenance or regrowth.
RU58841 is used without finasteride by some due to side effects, with mixed results. Users report combining RU58841 with minoxidil and adjusting finasteride doses to manage hair loss.
