Topical finasteride with hydroxypropyl chitosan shows significantly less serum absorption and minimal DHT reduction compared to oral finasteride. Users need the specific chitosan formulation to avoid side effects seen with regular ethanol+PG solutions.
The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
The user experienced negative side effects from oral minoxidil, including cardiac issues and excessive sweating, and decided to switch to topical minoxidil while using other treatments like RU58841, Setipiprant, Azelaic acid, and latanoprost. Another user suggested splitting the oral minoxidil dose to reduce side effects.
The conversation is about finding a trustworthy and affordable source for RU58841 in Europe, with a comparison between Anagenic and Actifolic. The user seeks experiences from others in the EU to avoid receiving water instead of the product.
The conversation discusses using NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) alongside minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, with some users noting potential hairline improvement and increased energy. The original poster reduced their finasteride dosage due to mental decline and anxiety, and while NAC's effects on hair are anecdotal, it is considered low-risk with other health benefits.
The post discusses a user's one-year experience using finasteride 1mg daily for hair loss, including initial irregular use, continued shedding of weak hair, acne in the thinning area treated with fusidic acid, and weekly use of Ketoconazole. A reply suggests adding Minoxidil for potentially full hair recovery.
The conversation discusses various hair loss treatments, including pyrilutamide, RU58841, topical dutasteride, oral minoxidil, and oral finasteride/dutasteride. It also mentions potential treatments like PP405, Verteporfin, GT20029, and AMP303.
Dr. Bloxham's new channel will discuss verteporfin and other future hair loss treatments. Users express interest and hope for the effectiveness of these treatments.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically Setipiprant, finasteride, and bimatoprost. Setipiprant is suggested for maintenance, while bimatoprost is for regrowth, and combining them with dermarolling is recommended for better results.
KX826 is considered a legitimate option for those who cannot use finasteride or dutasteride, but many users report it as ineffective compared to RU58841. RU58841 is favored by some due to anecdotal evidence of effectiveness, despite the lack of published clinical data.
The conversation discusses hair regrowth using 2-deoxy-d-ribose (2DDR) combined with minoxidil, with some users noting new hair growth. The original poster has been using minoxidil for 12 years and is considering combining 2DDR with finasteride, despite past side effects.
A 31-year-old male has been using oral finasteride (1.2mg) and minoxidil (3mg) for 9 months and is considering adding dutasteride to his regimen. Users suggest there is progress, but some recommend trying dutasteride for more aggressive treatment.
