Modified steroidal inhibitors showed promise in treating hormone-dependent cancers.
research Recent studies on the delivery of hydrophilic drugs in nanoparticulate systems
Nanoparticulate systems improve drug delivery by controlling release, protecting drugs, changing absorption and distribution, and concentrating drugs in targeted areas.
research NANOEMULGEL AS A RECENT DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Nanoemulgel is a promising method for delivering drugs, especially for those that don't dissolve well in water.
research Ethosome as a potential transdermal drug delivery system
Ethosomes are a promising way to deliver drugs through the skin.
research Structural & functional studies of L-PGDS and SMPDL3A enzymes in lipid signaling family

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Topical Dutasteride & Microneedling Works
Topical dutasteride, especially at higher concentrations, can be effective for hair loss when combined with microneedling to enhance absorption. Users discuss the side effects of finasteride and dutasteride, with some preferring topical treatments to avoid systemic side effects.
community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community How important is it for dutasteride to be in gel capsule form?
Dutasteride is more effective in gel capsule form due to better absorption, as it is fat-soluble. If only pills are available, taking them with fat or increasing the dose slightly may help.
community Napkin math: are we using 100x more topical finasteride than necessary?
Topical finasteride concentrations are likely much higher than necessary for effective follicular DHT suppression, with current standards being 100-1000 times above the theoretical minimum. Lower concentrations (0.001-0.0025%) might still work locally while minimizing systemic exposure.
community Compounded Dutasteride Absorption
Mixing Dutasteride with MCT oil may improve absorption due to its fat-soluble nature. Users suggest taking it with whole milk or using oil-based capsules for better effectiveness.
