community I had my DHT Levels measured (Topical solution)
The conversation discusses the use of topical finasteride for hair loss, with the user considering whether oral finasteride might be more effective in reducing DHT levels. Other users suggest alternatives like dutasteride, RU58841, saw palmetto, and a combination of Redensyl, Procapil, and Capixyl, while debating the effectiveness and side effects of these treatments.
community Science backed answer only from what you have learnt .
Alcohol-based minoxidil absorbs better but can cause irritation; non-alcohol-based is gentler. Topical dutasteride shows promise but needs more research; low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/day) is effective with fewer side effects. Ingredients like Procapil, Redensyl, caffeine, and Anagain in shampoos have limited evidence; ketoconazole shampoo can help when used 2-3 times a week with other treatments.
