The possible increased risk of severe Covid-19 cases in men due to higher androgen levels, and how taking medications such as finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone, enzalutamide, or canabidiol might help mitigate the severity of the disease.
community BREEZULA COVID UPDATE: Filing for Special Protocol Assessment with FDA
The conversation discusses the progress of Clascoterone (Breezula) for hair loss treatment, noting that COVID-19 delayed female trials by three months but Phase III trials for males are proceeding with a Special Protocol Assessment filed with the FDA. Users express hope for Breezula as an alternative to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, despite concerns about its potential high cost.
community Popular hair loss drug linked to higher suicide risk: compared to non-users, finasteride (Proscar/ Propecia) users have a markedly increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Over 30 years of observation, 19,320 suicides were expected.
Finasteride users may have an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, though some attribute these issues to hair loss itself. The link between finasteride and mental health effects is debated, with varying user experiences.
community Kintor has announced the results for their human Phase I trials of GT20029
The conversation discusses the potential of a new hair loss treatment, GT20029, which may prevent hair loss by destroying androgen receptors on the scalp. Users express hope for the treatment's success and speculate on its usage routine, effectiveness, and possible side effects.
community Physician here AMA – 30M oral Fin 1-1.25 mg daily
Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.
