People on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with aggressive androgenetic alopecia (AGA) discuss using Dutasteride or Finasteride, sometimes combined with topical treatments like RU58841 or CB-03-01 (Breezula), to prevent hair loss. Concerns about side effects and costs of certain treatments are mentioned, with one individual sharing their experience of slowed hair loss using Finasteride alone.

A user with low testosterone and mild gyno is considering finasteride for hair loss. Others suggest consulting an endocrinologist first and share experiences of finasteride not worsening gyno.

Clotrimazole may inhibit testosterone better than Ketoconazole. The user considers applying Clotrimazole cream on the scalp for hair loss.

A user reported that after using a topical mix of finasteride and minoxidil, their DHT levels decreased, testosterone and estradiol levels lowered unexpectedly, and they are considering vitamin D3 supplements due to deficiency. They apply the mix 3-4 times a week and use minoxidil on other days. Another user commented that finasteride typically increases testosterone, not decreases it.

A user is curious why their DHT levels are not higher despite using 400mg of testosterone without finasteride, and wonders if zinc or GHK-Cu injections could be influencing this. Another user suggests that more testosterone typically leads to more DHT, but the user might be fortunate not to exceed normal DHT levels.

A 26-year-old male with high testosterone is experiencing diffuse hair thinning despite using a comprehensive treatment regimen including dutasteride, oral minoxidil, RU58841, ketoconazole shampoo, microneedling, and low-level laser therapy. Suggestions include adjusting dutasteride dosage, monitoring iron levels, and consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation.

The user started shedding hair after beginning testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) despite using dutasteride and minoxidil, and added RU58841 to address the shedding. They reduced their TRT dose and hope RU58841 will stop the shedding quickly.

A user is concerned about low testosterone while using finasteride 0.625mg MWF and considers ashwagandha for stress. Others suggest exercise, magnesium, and not worrying about testosterone levels if no significant side effects are felt.

A female experiencing hair loss while on testosterone replacement therapy is using oral Minoxidil, Spironolactone, and finasteride, but still losing hair. Suggestions include switching to dutasteride, using topical anti-androgens, and reducing Nizoral shampoo use to prevent scalp dryness.

The user experienced hair shedding after starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and is considering using DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride to address potential DHT-related hair loss. Low ferritin levels due to frequent blood donations may also contribute to hair issues, and the user is working on stabilizing iron levels.
