5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Is it safe to take oral dutasteride with pyrilutamide?
It's safe to take oral dutasteride with pyrilutamide, as many use 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors with topical antiandrogens for better results. Avoid ingesting pyrilutamide.
community Is there any role for topical DHT antagonists, or does a 5-AR inhibitor remove the need for them as therapy
Topical androgen receptor antagonists may not be necessary if 5-AR inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride effectively reduce DHT levels. Combining a 5-AR inhibitor with a topical androgen antagonist could potentially enhance treatment, but oral use of androgen antagonists is too risky due to severe side effects.
community We need actual hair loss studies on Epristeride
Epristeride is a selective 5 alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor that may reduce scalp DHT similarly to finasteride, with potentially fewer side effects. It is suggested that combining epristeride with finasteride or dutasteride could enhance hair loss treatment effectiveness.
community Does caffeine inhibit 5-α-reductase?
Caffeine may promote hair growth and potentially inhibit 5-α-reductase activity in hair follicles, but its effectiveness and systemic impact remain unclear. Users discuss using topical caffeine solutions, with some experiencing no side effects compared to finasteride.
community 3 months progress (1mg oral fin + 2.5 mg oral min)
A 33-year-old male shared his 3-month progress using 1mg oral finasteride and 2.5mg oral minoxidil, along with supplements and serums, reporting thicker hair and new growth in thinning areas without side effects. Users suggested considering dutasteride or a hair transplant for better results, while others encouraged continuing the current regimen for at least a year.
