Topical finasteride as a potential alternative to oral finasteride for reducing DHT levels on the scalp with fewer side effects, and other hair loss treatments such as minoxidil.

The conversation is about the best vehicle for RU58841, comparing trichosol and Garnier/Vichy Stemoxydine, avoiding propylene glycol (PG) or ethanol due to previous scalp damage. The user is also seeking sources for these products in the EU.

The conversation is about finding a safe carrier for topical antiandrogens like finasteride, kx-826, RU58841, and dutasteride to minimize systemic absorption and side effects. The user experiences side effects from these treatments and is seeking advice on carriers that reduce these effects.

Veradermics' extended-release oral minoxidil is expected to be commercially available in 2027-2028, while another company, Minx, may release a similar product sooner. VDPHL01 is considered more clinically validated compared to Minx.

RU-58841 does not dissolve well in common Minoxidil solutions due to water content, requiring a 70/30 ethanol/propylene glycol mix. Users report using separate solutions for RU-58841 and finasteride/Minoxidil for better results.

User plans to switch from oral to .005% topical finasteride, using a solvent from minoxidilmax and later Essengen-F. They will monitor DHT levels and seek advice on solvents and sleep caps.

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.

Saw palmetto's fatty acids, particularly lauric and linoleic acids, inhibit enzymes linked to hair loss, while sterols like beta-sitosterol are less effective due to poor absorption. The conversation questions which specific compounds in saw palmetto contribute to its anti-androgenic effects.

The user visited a trichologist due to ineffective topical finasteride treatment for hair loss. The trichologist recommended a new regimen including a two-month course of locoidon (cortisone 0.1%), followed by a solution containing minoxidil, hydrocortisone butirrate, estrone, progesterone, tocopherol acetate, trichosol, and transcutol.

Pyrilutamide is believed to be more effective than RU58841 and 1 mg finasteride in treating hair loss, with no systemic hormonal effects and the potential to block more than 31% of scalp DHT. It may also antagonize scalp testosterone due to its action as an androgen receptor antagonist.

User considers making Zix topical solution with ethanol/alcohol for hair loss treatment. Asks if crushing b6 and zinc into stemoxydine is possible.

Oral minoxidil was ineffective for OP, causing hair loss and unwanted body hair, while topical minoxidil showed significant regrowth. OP is switching to topical minoxidil with glycerin due to scalp issues with propylene glycol.

Topical finasteride that doesn't penetrate the skin could potentially treat hair loss without side effects. Current challenges include finding a formulation that remains on the scalp without increasing blood levels.

PP405 shows promise for hair regrowth by manipulating stem cell characteristics and lactate dehydrogenase, with Phase 2a trials pending. Google Ventures' $15M investment suggests confidence, but results and market availability remain uncertain.

Peptides are being discussed for potential hair loss treatments, but most are not proven effective for this purpose. Minoxidil and finasteride are mentioned as more reliable options for hair growth.

Crushing finasteride pills into stemoxydine may not be effective without removing the coating first. It's unclear if the pills dissolve completely or settle as sediment.

Salicylic acid in Nioxin shampoo may reduce minoxidil effectiveness by inhibiting sulfotransferase activity, potentially causing hair loss. Users suggest stopping salicylic acid use or trying alternative treatments like high-concentration tretinoin or medicated minoxidil/finasteride shampoos.

Exosomes from Musely are being discussed as a topical hair loss treatment containing ingredients like latanoprost, caffeine, cetirizine, melatonin, vitamin D3, vitamin E, and biotin. Users are curious about its effectiveness and potential side effects, noting it may take 4-6 months to see results.
