Valproic Acid-Induced Pleuro-Pericardial Effusion

The conversation is about finding a source for topical valproic acid for hair regrowth. The user mentions PP405 and the unavailability of products from certain suppliers.

An 18-year-old experienced severe side effects, including heart palpitations and high blood pressure, after using RU58841 once, leading to a referral to cardiology for suspected left ventricular hypertrophy. The user regrets using RU58841 and seeks advice on recovery, while others suggest preexisting conditions or genetic predispositions may be factors.

PP405's phase 2a trial results were presented, focusing on safety and pharmacokinetics, with a future meeting planned to share the full dataset. The trial includes a randomized controlled portion and an open-label extension, with no indication of phase 2B completion.

RU58841 caused chest tightness, throat irritation, and headaches, leading the user to stop its use. The user plans to restart with a lower dose if symptoms fully disappear but remains cautious due to anxiety and side effects.

PP405 is advancing to Phase 2b trials, showing promise from Phase 2a. It may be available in 3-6 years, with trials using a topical gel.
