    August 2013

    TLDR Roaccutane can cause severe liver damage.
    Roaccutane (Isoretinoin), a drug used to treat severe acne, was associated with various side effects, including liver problems and hair loss. This case study described a young man who developed acute liver failure after taking Roaccutane for six weeks. Despite stopping the medication upon noticing jaundice, he experienced acute liver failure two months later, necessitating a liver transplant.

      The conversation discusses whether creatine causes hair loss for those using finasteride or dutasteride, with some suggesting creatine might increase DHT or upregulate androgen receptors, potentially leading to hair loss. Others argue the evidence is not conclusive, citing limited studies and personal anecdotes, with some avoiding creatine as a precaution.

      community Has anyone had positive experiences with Dutasteride?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  21 upvotes 1 year ago
      Dutasteride is generally considered more effective than finasteride for hair regrowth and thickening, despite some negative anecdotal reports. Users report thicker hair and better skin with dutasteride, and some believe negative reviews are due to advanced alopecia or impatience with the shedding process.
