research Maintenance of optimised hair growth from viable terminal scalp hair follicles at baseline with oral finasteride in male pattern hair loss and first evidence of a “drug dependency” and a post-finasteride “rebound effect”.
Finasteride helps hair growth but stopping it causes faster hair loss.
research Gradient-dependent release of the model drug TRITC-dextran from FITC-labeled BSA hydrogel nanocarriers in the hair follicles of porcine ear skin
The drug was successfully released into hair follicles using nanocarriers.
research Drug repurposing of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors for neutrophilic acute respiratory distress syndrome and psoriasis
CDK inhibitors may help treat ARDS and psoriasis but need more testing for safety and effectiveness.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Since Dutasteride is dose dependent, is there any real difference in taking 0.5mg daily vs every other day?
Taking dutasteride daily at higher doses results in more effective DHT suppression compared to every other day dosing, due to its dose-dependent nature and long half-life. Even at lower doses, dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss.
community Haircafe - TOPICAL minoxidil is an anti aging drug
Topical minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, possibly due to its alcohol content, while oral finasteride is reported to make users look younger. Switching to oral minoxidil or using moisturizers might help reduce these skin issues.
community Finasteride, also known as Propecia or Proscar, treats male pattern baldness and enlarged prostate in millions of men worldwide. But a new study suggests the drug may also provide a surprising and life-saving benefit: lowering cholesterol and cutting the overall risk of cardiovascular disease.
The conversation discusses the potential benefits of finasteride (Fin) for lowering cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular disease risk, with users sharing personal experiences and opinions on the medication's effects on health and hair loss. Some users report positive changes in cholesterol levels after taking finasteride, while others are skeptical or joke about its effects.
community The homeless crackhead protocol
The conversation humorously suggests that drug use might be more effective for hair retention than traditional treatments like minoxidil or finasteride. It attributes full heads of hair in homeless individuals to lifestyle factors like reduced stress or hormonal changes.
community Can fin changing dosage frequency cause shedding?
The user reduced their finasteride dosage and added vitamin D due to deficiency, questioning if this change could cause hair shedding. Another user suggests shedding is unlikely with this dosage change, but more likely with a stronger drug like dutasteride.
