research Medical treatment regimens of hirsutism
Low-dose anti-androgen drugs and certain drug combinations are effective for hirsutism, and insulin sensitizers show promise, especially for those with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research Effects of Long Term Treatment With Finasteride (MK-906), a 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating LH, FSH, Prolactin and Estradiol
Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting hormone levels, helping with conditions like enlarged prostate, acne, and hair loss.
research Specific interpretation of hair concentrations in 2 fatal metformin intoxication cases
Hair analysis showed very high metformin levels in two fatal overdose cases, suggesting it's useful in forensics but sweat may affect results.
research Evaluation of men on finasteride.
Finasteride reduces prostate size and serum levels, helping manage benign prostatic hyperplasia, without affecting prostate cancer detection. Regular monitoring is needed for users.
research Isotretinoin-induced gynecomastia.
Isotretinoin can cause gynecomastia by lowering testosterone levels.
research Effect of Low-Dose Finasteride on Serum PSA Concentrations
Low-dose finasteride lowers PSA levels, which can make prostate cancer harder to detect.
research An update on the treatment of female alopecia and the introduction of a potential novel therapy
Minoxidil is the only drug proven to improve female hair loss, and dextroamphetamine sulfate may be a new treatment for certain types of hair loss.
research Counterfeit Medicines in Socioeconomic Perspective
Counterfeit medicines are most common in developing countries and vary with a country's level of development.

research Tailoring Risperidone-Loaded Glycethosomal In Situ Gels Using Box–Behnken Design for Treatment of Schizophrenia-Induced Rats via Intranasal Route
The new nasal gel for schizophrenia improved drug absorption and brain effects in rats.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Finasteride in hospitalized adult males with COVID-19: A risk factor for severity of the disease or an adjunct treatment: A randomized controlled clinical trial
Taking finasteride can partially improve oxygen levels in hospitalized male patients over 50 with COVID-19 pneumonia, but it doesn't affect other outcomes like death rate or hospital stay length.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research TSPO ligand etifoxine attenuates LPS-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice
Etifoxine, an anxiety drug, can lessen brain inflammation and cognitive issues in mice, partly by increasing production of protective brain steroids.
research Finasteride and male fertility
Finasteride may decrease semen quality but not harm sperm production, and stopping the drug can improve semen quality; hyperprolactinemia can cause infertility but is treatable with medication.
research LB1009 Baicalin, a component of the herbal medicine Baikal skullcap, inhibits epidermal necroptosis in SJS/TEN
Baicalin may help treat severe drug-induced skin reactions.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats hair loss and prostate issues by lowering certain hormone levels.
research Poster Abstracts

research Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships of the First Ferrocenyl-Aryl-Hydantoin Derivatives of the Nonsteroidal Antiandrogen Nilutamide
Scientists made the first metal-based compounds from a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug, which showed potential in fighting both hormone-dependent and independent prostate cancer cells.
research Cushing's syndrome due to pharmacological interaction in a cystic fibrosis patient
A cystic fibrosis patient developed Cushing's syndrome from a drug interaction between itraconazole and budesonide, which improved after stopping the medications.
research Oral Testosterone With and Without Concomitant Inhibition of 5α-Reductase by Dutasteride in Hypogonadal Men for 28 Days
Taking oral testosterone with or without dutasteride increases testosterone levels and could be an effective treatment for low testosterone.
research Noyes-Whitney Dissolution Model-Based pH-Sensitive Slow Release of Paclitaxel (Taxol) from Human Hair-Derived Keratin Microparticle Carriers
Human hair-derived particles can effectively carry and release the cancer drug Paclitaxel in a pH-sensitive manner, potentially targeting cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.
research Severe scalp hair loss in a female patient with acromegaly treated with lanreotide autogel after unsuccessful surgery
A woman with acromegaly experienced severe hair loss from a drug called Lanreotide Autogel, which improved after stopping the treatment.
research Cushing's syndrome due to pharmacological interaction in a cystic fibrosis patient
