PP405 is expected to be available in 2028, with ongoing discussions about its timeline and potential effectiveness. Current treatments mentioned include sublingual Minoxidil and Vederamicd, with some users experiencing side effects from oral Minoxidil.

New potential hair loss treatment uses molecules from hairy moles to stimulate follicle growth. Topical solution requires less frequent application, like Botox injections a few times per year.

Adding Nizoral Shampoo (ketoconazole 2%) improved hair quality and reduced scalp irritation. Alternatives like zinc pyrithione shampoo and Piroctone Olamine were also discussed.

The conversation discusses experiences with PTD-DBM for hair loss treatment. It also mentions using Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
