Finasteride and Nizoral shampoo with Ketoconazole are used for hair loss treatment. Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is recommended over Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for more accurate DHT testing.
community Guide To Finasteride and Avoiding Side Effects
The conversation provides a guide on using finasteride for hair loss, suggesting to start with a quarter of a 1mg pill daily after ensuring estradiol levels are within a specific range, and potentially increasing the dose if no side effects occur. It also recommends supplements like DIM, Calcium d-glucarate, and Zinc to manage high estradiol levels and side effects from finasteride.
community Got the bloodwork results and it’s interesting
The user has high DHT levels despite using dutasteride, which may not be effective due to potential damage or spoilage. They are considering a hair transplant if DHT levels don't decrease after two years.
community DHT levels after 10 months on dut 0.5 ed, how is this even possible?
A user experienced accelerated hairline recession after adding dutasteride to their regimen of topical finasteride and minoxidil, despite reduced hair shedding. They were informed that ELISA testing for DHT levels can be highly inaccurate.
community Interpreting pre-finisteride blood panels
The conversation is about someone planning to start finasteride for hair loss and wanting to interpret pre-treatment blood panels to assess the risk of side effects like gynecomastia. They list various tests to measure hormone levels and other health indicators.
