Pyrilutimide, a treatment for hair loss; it's effectiveness compared to other treatments such as Finasteride and RU58841; and some users’ experiences with the treatment.

The conversation is about the release of a new phase 3 clinical trial for a year and questioning if the results of the 6-month clinical trials will be shown this quarter. The specific treatment discussed is Pyrilutamide.

A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.

A 17-year-old is concerned that taking finasteride might affect facial bone growth and is considering switching to topical finasteride due to its reduced systemic effects. They are also using oral minoxidil and exploring other hair loss treatments like microneedling and ketoconazole shampoo.

PP405 increased hair density by 20% in 31% of participants, but results are considered underwhelming. Minoxidil and finasteride are seen as more effective treatments.

Bicalutamide blocks androgen receptors, preventing testosterone and DHT from binding, which can help with hair loss but may cause feminization. It is not recommended for those who do not want feminization effects.

Pyrilutamide is being discussed as an alternative for those who can't use finasteride, but users report it may be ineffective at low concentrations. Some users are combining it with minoxidil, microneedling, and other treatments, but results vary.

Clascoterone, an acne treatment that blocks DHT, is being developed for scalp use against hair loss. The conversation also mentions Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 as treatments.

Probiotics like L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 and B. longum BB536 may improve hair growth and density by reducing inflammation and reversing DHT damage. The user is trialing these probiotics personally, ordering them from the U.S. to Canada, and plans to continue if no adverse effects occur.

27F with androgenic alopecia since 17 seeks treatment. Tried spironolactone, caused low blood pressure; believes finasteride is safer and wants to try it.

The conversation discusses avoiding caffeine after Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment for hair loss because caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, which can reduce blood flow and hinder the healing process that PRP aims to promote.

Exploring hair loss treatments beyond DHT, including Minoxidil, pyruvate, Gt20029 targeting androgen receptors, and vasodilators. Other options like Kx826, adenosine signaling, growth factor topicals, and microneedling are also discussed.

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of a hair loss treatment called CB (Breezula) in comparison to Pyrilutamide, and its potential when combined with Finasteride. There is uncertainty about when or if phase 3 trials for Breezula will begin.

Trans women discuss using finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss and whether to continue after testosterone suppression. One user reduced dutasteride dosage after achieving undetectable testosterone levels.

The conversation discusses a last-resort hair loss treatment combining topical finasteride, minoxidil, melatonin, and progesterone, with claims that topical finasteride can inhibit up to 52% of scalp DHT. One reply clarifies that progesterone is not an anti-androgen but has anti-androgenic properties because it competes with androgens for receptors.

Green tea extract and soy isoflavones may help with hair loss by inhibiting DHT and providing additional health benefits. Combining these with finasteride and possibly using nizoral shampoo could enhance effectiveness in managing hair loss.

GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgen receptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.

User experienced slow gains with topical fin+min, switched to topical dut+min, and considered adding Eucapil. Another user suggested DUT may be less effective topically due to high molar mass and mentioned Fluridil as a weak anti-androgen that could help.

Hair regrowth was achieved using minoxidil, nizoral, alfatrodial, and pyrilutamide after finasteride caused side effects. The user recommends this combination for those who can't tolerate 5AR inhibitors, stressing consistent use.

A 17-year-old is using topical minoxidil for hair loss and is considering other treatments like ketoconazole shampoo and saw palmetto while waiting to start finasteride at 19. Suggestions include using oral minoxidil, topical antiandrogens like RU58841, and CB-03-01, with a focus on minimizing systemic DHT impact.

The conversation discusses Dr. Blake Bloxham's experiment with Verteporfin for hair loss, with one person suggesting more doctors should try it as it seems beneficial. Another comment notes that results at 4-5 months were not very impressive.

A 24-year-old experiencing severe hair thinning has been using minoxidil for 2 years but is still shedding hair. A doctor recommended plasma treatment over a DHT blocker for better and healthier results.

Caffeine is not a proven DHT blocker and does not effectively treat hair loss. Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are more reliable treatments.

Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.

Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.

The conversation is about whether it is safe to take Xeljanz, a JAK inhibitor, while also taking finasteride for hair loss. The concern is that Xeljanz weakens the immune system, which could be risky.

Dr. Bloxham's trial is testing verteporfin on hair transplant patients to see if it can improve hair regrowth in treated areas. People are discussing the potential for follicle regeneration, expected results timeline, and concerns about side effects like cancer.

The conversation discusses using a combination of finasteride, spironolactone, minoxidil, retinol, azelaic acid, and caffeine for hair loss treatment. The user inquires about the limitations of these drugs and whether tretinoin would be more effective than retinol.

Clascoterone (Breezula) showed positive results for treating hair loss without affecting cortisol levels. Opinions vary, with some users optimistic about its potential and others critical of its effectiveness compared to existing treatments like finasteride.

The user diagnosed with DUPA tried treatments like dutasteride, finasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil without success and is considering a hair system. They hope for a future cure, possibly with PP405, and others suggest options like scalp biopsy and SMP.
