Tailoring Risperidone-Loaded Glycethosomal In Situ Gels Using Box–Behnken Design for Treatment of Schizophrenia-Induced Rats via Intranasal Route

A user wants to make a solution for RU58841 and finasteride powder using only glycerin and asks if ethanol is necessary. They are seeking advice on whether glycerin alone is sufficient.

A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.

The user is experiencing a greasy and dandruff-prone scalp from using RU58841 with glycerin and is seeking alternative carriers for seborrheic dermatitis. They are also using dutasteride 0.5mg.

RU58841 in glycerin may cause less irritation than in PG form, but its effectiveness might be reduced. Users discuss the potential trade-off between irritation and efficacy.

Mixing RU58841 with cetosomal minoxidil is discussed due to scalp irritation from ethanol PG vehicles. A mixture of the two turned bright pink when left to dry.

The conversation is about making a 20mg/ml RU58841 solution for hair loss treatment using ethanol and propylene glycol. The user receives advice on calculating the correct amount of RU58841 powder needed.
