Some users believe creatine may accelerate hair loss, while others see no effect. Opinions are mixed, with some suggesting using treatments like finasteride to counter potential effects.
A woman's experience with Spironolactone as treatment for female pattern hair loss, including the effects of increasing dosage and her doctor's recommendation to try finasteride if no results are seen after 6 months. Other users have also shared their experiences with using finasteride for this condition.
The user reported high estradiol levels after one month of using finasteride for hair loss. They discussed potential side effects and adjustments to their treatment plan.
Taking zinc and copper may offset copper depletion and potentially aid hair health when used with finasteride. The user is considering whether to use these supplements alongside finasteride or wait until switching to dutasteride.
The user is starting a new hair loss treatment routine with Minoxidil, Redensyl, Ketoconazole shampoo, and microneedling. They are avoiding finasteride due to potential side effects and are considering future treatments like pyrilutamide.
The user is using 1mg oral finasteride, 1.25mg oral minoxidil nightly, and ketoconazole shampoo weekly for hair loss, reporting no side effects. They self-prescribed after inconsistent use of topical minoxidil, using Lonitab from Intas pharmaceutical.
Creatine does not cause or worsen hair loss, despite some anecdotal reports of hair thinning. The discussion emphasizes that these reports are not supported by scientific evidence.
Dr. Kyle Gillet mentioned on Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast that dutasteride mesotherapy blocks DHT conversion only in the scalp and is the most promising topical treatment. Users discussed concerns about systemic absorption and the practicality of dutasteride injections.
NMN is considered safe to use with dutasteride, and it may help reduce grey hairs. Combining NMN with creatine, whey protein, fish oil, and dutasteride is not seen as excessive.
