Discussing results, side effects and potential sources of pyrilutamide for hair loss treatment alongside RU58841 and other treatments such as Minoxidil and finasteride.
The user continues to experience hair loss despite using dutasteride 2.5mg, minoxidil 5mg, and ciclopirox shampoo, and plans to reassess after one year. Others report similar issues with dutasteride, with some switching to finasteride or adding RU58841.
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.
Pyrilutimide and CB-03-01, two treatments for hair loss, have similar clinical trial results despite different binding affinities to androgen receptors. Factors other than binding affinity, like the time a drug stays bound to the receptor, may influence their effectiveness.
Women experienced severe reactions, including Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), from using Winlevi (Clascoterone 1%) on their faces. Concerns were raised about the potential risks of higher concentrations, especially for hair loss treatment.
The conversation discusses the use of TRT, dutasteride, minoxidil, and potentially RU58841 for hair loss. Concerns about the risk of developing Cutis verticis gyrata with minoxidil and TRT are raised.
Dutasteride can lead to increased cholesterol and liver fat. The user is reconsidering its use due to high cholesterol and lipid levels despite a healthy lifestyle.
The user has been using oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, and tretinoin cream for hair loss, with positive progress noted after six months. They are advised to continue their current regimen and consider additional treatments like derma rolling, while being cautious about switching to dutasteride due to potential side effects.
OP experienced diffuse thinning for 11 years and used Minoxidil and Finasteride previously. They now use Pyrilutamide 0.5% and Alfatradiol 0.1%, resulting in significantly reduced hair loss.
The conversation discusses using scalp antiandrogens like RU58841, pyrilutamide, or fluridil on the face to reduce sebum production, noting that clascoterone (winlevi) is an approved facial antiandrogen with underwhelming reviews.
Alternatives to finasteride for hair loss include minoxidil, alfatrodial, fluridil, pyrilutamide, and Nizoral. These treatments may not be as effective as finasteride but can help slow hair loss progression.
The user experienced headaches and brain fog with a topical solution containing Dutasteride, Minoxidil, Tretinoin, Fluocinolone, Latanoprost, and Caffeine. They are considering switching to oral or topical Finasteride to see if it alleviates these side effects.
Pyrilutamide's systemic degradation is unclear, unlike fluridil, which becomes inactive in the body. The discussion focuses on whether pyrilutamide shares this property.
Melatonin's effect on aromatase expression is unclear, with studies showing both increases and decreases. Hormonal impacts are complex and inconsistent, similar to changing health advice on other substances.
Finasteride was intentionally developed to treat BPH and later approved for male pattern baldness (MPB) due to its 5AR inhibition effects. The delay in MPB approval was due to concerns about off-label use for female hirsutism and the prioritization of treating a more debilitating condition.
Hair loss progress in 4.5 months using dutasteride 3x/week, topical minoxidil 1-2x daily, and microneedling 2x/month. Users praised the significant improvement.
Long-term use of finasteride and dutasteride may be linked to health risks like fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dry eye disease, and potential kidney disease. Some users believe the risks are low and the medications are generally safe.
The conversation discusses whether topical finasteride, dutasteride, or antiandrogens like RU58841 can reduce sebum overproduction as an early indicator of their effectiveness in treating hair loss. It suggests that while hair growth may take months to observe, a decrease in oiliness could be a quicker sign of a product's action.
The conversation is about whether to use gloves when applying 5% RU58841 to avoid systemic absorption and if washing hands with water is sufficient. Users question the concern, noting it is applied to the scalp.
OP bought Koshine x826 and plans to update on its effectiveness, currently using fluridil. OP couldn't tolerate RU or DUT, while another user mixes Dutasteride with Koshine x826 weekly without side effects.
A user is considering using a topical Minoxidil solution with tretinoin and Azelaic Acid while taking oral Finasteride and is seeking advice on safety and effectiveness. They have been using Minoxidil for 10 years with mild results and oral Finasteride for a year with some positive changes.
The user is using topical finasteride (1MG in 30ML stemoxydine) and experiencing a lack of morning erections after three months. They are questioning whether to discontinue the treatment or if the side effect will resolve if they continue.
The conversation is about gathering serum DHT data from individuals taking dutasteride to investigate its efficacy, especially in cases with unexpectedly low DHT reduction. The aim is to explore potential genetic factors affecting drug metabolism.
CRISPR treatments for blood disorders have been approved, leading to discussions about its potential for treating hair loss (AGA). A study showed that editing a gene related to DHT sensitivity could lead to hair regrowth, suggesting CRISPR may eventually be used for AGA, but it's expected to be expensive and not soon available.
A 24-year-old woman being diagnosed with androgenic alopecia (AGA) who is scared and confused about her hair loss, and the treatment options of Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, spironolactone, and possibly a biopsy.
The conversation discusses whether to take oral minoxidil in a split dose or a single dose at night. Users suggest that taking a single 10mg dose at night is simpler, while splitting may help minimize side effects.
The user is considering adding Pyrilutamide or Alfatradiol as a topical treatment for hair loss after oral Finasteride and Dutasteride became less effective. Other users suggest Pyrilutamide for its safety profile, while one user shares positive experiences with RU58841 for reducing scalp itch and improving hairline.
A user with diffuse hair loss after taking accutane, which might have triggered genetic predisposition to AGA; their experience taking finasteride and experiencing side effects of increased oil production, increased sex drive, worsening hair texture; they are considering zinc supplementation with finasteride or other treatments such as alfatradiol or spironolactone.
