    TLDR The study developed accurate, precise, and environmentally friendly methods to measure Finasteride and Tadalafil in a new FDA-approved combination.
    The study developed and validated green analytical methods for the simultaneous quantification of Finasteride (FIN) and Tadalafil (TAD) in the FDA-approved combination capsule Entadfi™ using derivative spectrophotometry and HPLC. Both methods demonstrated high accuracy, precision, linearity, and sensitivity, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.9995. The greenness of the methods was confirmed using AGP, eco-scale, and GAPI tools, indicating their environmental friendliness. The derivative spectrophotometric method was slightly greener due to lower solvent use and waste production. Stability tests showed that FIN and TAD solutions remain stable for at least 3 hours.

      Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.

      A 20-year-old started taking finasteride for hair loss at 18, saw improvement, but developed erectile dysfunction (ED) after taking accutane. Despite stopping both medications, ED persisted, and hair loss worsened. Advice given includes considering tadalafil for ED, resuming finasteride, using minoxidil, and addressing psychological factors through positive thinking and lifestyle changes.
