community Why is sexual functioning the main concern? Fin/dut can affect cognition and mood, arguably being more important

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 65 upvotes 5 months ago

Finasteride and dutasteride can affect sexual function, cognition, and mood. Alternatives like minoxidil, pyrilutamide, and alfatradiol have varied effectiveness and side effects.

community What blood results (if any) could be affected by Fin/Min?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 2 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride can increase total testosterone and potentially raise estrogen levels, leading to side effects. Biotin in combined tablets can falsely elevate thyroid hormone levels in blood tests.

community Starting an experiment to test DHT levels with Fin and Creatine.

144 upvotes 6 years ago

The user experimented with finasteride to reduce hair loss and plans to test if creatine affects DHT levels while on finasteride. Initial results showed low DHT levels, indicating finasteride's effectiveness, with further tests planned for creatine's impact.

community Sexual Dysfunction in Those with Androgenetic Alopecia on Dutasteride Versus Finasteride

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 113 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risks of sexual dysfunction for treating androgenetic alopecia. Users experience varying side effects, indicating individual differences in drug reactions.

community How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 22 upvotes 2 years ago

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 and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain

in Research/Science 111 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.
