research Drug Breakdown: FINASTERIDE
research A New Look at the 5?-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research COMPARISON OF FINASTERIDE AND ALPHA‐BLOCKERS AS INDEPENDENT RISK FACTORS FOR ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Age and other health issues affect erectile dysfunction more than finasteride or alpha-blockers.
research Side Effects Related to 5 α-Reductase Inhibitor Treatment of Hair Loss in Women: A Review.
The review found that women using hair loss drugs like finasteride and dutasteride rarely reported sexual side effects.
research A randomized double blind, vehicle controlled bilateral comparison study of the efficacy and safety of finasteride 0.5% solution in combination with intense pulsed light in the treatment of facial hirsutism*
Finasteride and intense pulsed light effectively reduce unwanted facial hair in women, but may not be cost-effective.
research Algorithmic approach to the treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia: A systematic review
The review suggests there's no agreed treatment for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, but hydroxychloroquine and 5a-reductase inhibitors are most effective. New treatments like platelet-rich plasma and LED light could help if standard treatments fail.
research Dutasteride in Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Dutasteride is becoming a popular hair loss treatment, proving more effective than finasteride with similar side effects.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors dampen L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia via normalization of dopamine D1-receptor signaling pathway and D1-D3 receptor interaction
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce unwanted movements from Parkinson's disease treatment by normalizing certain brain signals.
research Treatment with oral vitamin D alone, topical minoxidil, or combination of both in patients with female pattern hair loss: A comparative clinical and dermoscopic study
Taking oral vitamin D and applying topical minoxidil together can better treat female pattern hair loss than using either treatment alone.
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
research Rapid determination of finasteride in human plasma by UPLC–MS/MS and its application to clinical pharmacokinetic study
New method measures finasteride in blood quickly and accurately.
research Topical fulvestrant solution has no effect on male and postmenopausal female androgenetic alopecia: results from two randomized, proof-of-concept studies
Fulvestrant solution doesn't help hair loss in men and postmenopausal women.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research DEVELOPING AND VALIDATING AN HPLC METHOD TO QUANTIFY SIMULTANEOUSLY DUTASTERIDE AND THEIR RELATED MOLECULES (DUTASTERIDE ACID, 2,5 BIS- (TRI FLUORO METHYL)-ANILINE AND DUTASTERIDE 17 α-EPIMER) IN CAPSULES
A reliable method was created to measure dutasteride and related molecules in capsules.
research High-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of finasteride in human plasma at therapeutic doses
Reliable method detects finasteride in human plasma at low doses.
research Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of a cream containing theStryphnodendron adstringens(Martius) Coville bark extract for suppressing terminal hair growth
The cream effectively reduces excessive hair growth and related skin issues without side effects.
research Minoxidil 1 mg oral versus minoxidil 5% topical solution for the treatment of female-pattern hair loss: A randomized clinical trial
Oral minoxidil and topical minoxidil 5% both effectively improve female-pattern hair loss with safe side effects.
research Pathogenetic justification of the use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors help with benign prostatic hyperplasia but don't cure it, and more research is needed.
research 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor Treatment for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia:A Myth or Truth?
5-Alpha-Reductase inhibitors might help slow down hair loss in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia but are not a primary treatment and need more research.
research Microarray analysis reveals distinct RNA expression profiles in endothelial progenitor cells exposed to pro-inflammatory environment or oxidized LDL
Different cells affect hair follicle blood vessels, endothelial cells react differently to inflammation and oxidized fats, and prasugrel better protects heart vessels during a procedure than clopidogrel.
research Minoxidil — An Alternative to Nephrectomy for Refractory Hypertension
Minoxidil effectively lowers blood pressure with few side effects.
research Administration of dutasteride in animal models of retinitis pigmentosa
