5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Treatment effectiveness for oral vs topical
Oral treatments for hair loss, like Dutasteride and Minoxidil, may be more effective than topical ones, though topical formulations can be similarly effective except for Minoxidil. Topical treatments can be a chore to apply and are often used as supplements to oral treatments.

community Are there ever going to be any oral DHT blocking treatments in the future?
The discussion revolves around the need for future oral DHT blockers for hair loss treatment that don't have the side effects of current options like Finasteride and Dutasteride. One user suggests that the future of hair loss treatment will likely be topical anti-androgens, as they can target hair follicles without affecting the entire system.
community Questions About Topical Finasteride & Minoxidil vs. Oral Treatment Effects and Combo Benefits
Topical finasteride with minoxidil can be effective but may not match oral finasteride results, with less absorption into the bloodstream. Shedding is common when starting or stopping minoxidil and finasteride, and adding dutasteride and tretinoin can enhance effectiveness by improving absorption and DHT inhibition.
