Tmprss2: A Key Host Factor In SARS-CoV-2 Infection And Potential Therapeutic Target

GT20029 and pyrilutamide are both androgen antagonists but work differently; GT20029 degrades the androgen receptor, while pyrilutamide blocks DHT from binding. GT20029 is expected to have similar efficacy to CosmeRNA.

Concerns about a potential ban on finasteride and dutasteride due to side effects, with users advocating for continued access and informed choice. Alternative treatments like pyrilutamide are also mentioned.

KX-826 is considered effective for hair maintenance, with better safety research than RU58841, but lacks positive anecdotes. RU58841 is seen as potentially stronger, but concerns exist about systemic effects; combining anti-androgens with 5AR inhibitors is suggested for better results.

Pyrilutamide and RU58841 are androgen receptor antagonists that block receptors without significantly reducing testosterone or DHT levels. Any indirect effect on androgen levels is likely negligible.

GT20029 is discussed as a potential treatment for androgenetic hair loss by targeting androgen receptors, unlike finasteride which reduces DHT broadly. Concerns include its effectiveness, genetic variations in androgen receptors, and availability, with some skepticism about its potential as a true alternative.

The user experienced side effects from a hair loss treatment and is considering using pyrilutamide, alfatradiol, and possibly minoxidil. They are unsure about starting minoxidil immediately or waiting to see the effects of the other treatments.
