    TLDR A reliable method was developed to measure Tamsulosin and Finasteride in tablets accurately.
    The study aimed to develop a simple and precise RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous estimation of Tamsulosin and Finasteride in bulk and tablet formulations. The method utilized a Spherisorb C-18 column with an isocratic flow and detection at 210 nm, using a mobile phase of methanol and phosphate buffer. It demonstrated a linear response for Tamsulosin and Finasteride within specific concentration ranges, with limits of detection and quantitation established for both drugs. The recovery rates were high, and the low %RSD values indicated good precision and stability. The method was concluded to be selective and potentially useful for estimating these drugs in combined dosage forms.

      in Progress Pictures  15 upvotes 2 years ago
      A 35-year-old started finasteride in 2014 for hair loss and maintained hair density for 7 years, occasionally using ketoconazole shampoo. Switched to dutasteride in 2022 due to increased hair fall, experimented with dosages, and found a combination with tamsulosin effective despite initial adverse reactions.

      The user shared a 3.5-year hair loss treatment journey, starting with daily finasteride and oral minoxidil, then switching to finasteride 4 times a week and daily topical minoxidil. After about 2 years and 9 months, they added Dutasteride and Tamsulosin Hydrochloride to their regimen, but reduced the frequency due to side effects, and are currently satisfied with the results.

       22 upvotes 7 years ago
      Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.
