    TLDR Finasteride's molecular and crystal structures help develop new drug formulations.
    This document is a compilation of summaries of different studies that analyze the molecular and crystal structures of finasteride, a drug used for hair loss and prostate enlargement. The studies provide insights into the drug's structural properties, including its ability to form molecular complexes and polymorphs, and offer valuable information for developing new formulations and dosage forms of the drug. The studies use various techniques, including X-ray crystallography and solid-state IR, to analyze the drug's structure and provide atomic coordinates, isotropic displacement parameters, and hydrogen-bond geometry.

      The user's experience taking Pyrilutamide, a drug for hair loss treatment, and their use of it in combination with other treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. They have experienced positive results so far with no major side effects.

      community How far are we from a treatment better than finasteride?

      in Treatment  129 upvotes 1 week ago
      Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hair loss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.
