6 / 1000+ resultscommunity 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 For people with overly oily hair, does topical finasteride/dutasteride/antiandrogens (like RU or Pyrilutamide) reduce sebum overproduction?
The conversation discusses whether topical finasteride, dutasteride, or antiandrogens like RU58841 can reduce sebum overproduction as an early indicator of their effectiveness in treating hair loss. It suggests that while hair growth may take months to observe, a decrease in oiliness could be a quicker sign of a product's action.
community How come Dut doesnβt cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.

community DHT/Testosterone levels in scalp Fin VS Dut.
Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
