5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Minoxidil + Gym + Cutting. Is it bad?
A user is concerned about weight loss stagnation while using minoxidil and finasteride during a calorie-cutting diet. Responses suggest water retention or a weight loss plateau as possible causes.
community Mid 40s Fin only - 12 month update.
A user in their mid-40s shared a 12-month update on using finasteride for hair loss, showing significant improvement. They started seeing thicker hair and regrowth after 3 months, with no side effects noticed.
community Takes time my friends, years in fact
The conversation discusses long-term hair loss treatment, with one person seeing hair darkening after 3 years using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride, and others sharing their shorter-term experiences with similar treatments. They emphasize that hair regrowth takes time and to not expect quick results.
community Why is everyone not directly advised Dutasteride?
Dutasteride is less commonly prescribed for hair loss because it is not FDA-approved for this purpose, unlike finasteride, which is more accessible and preferred due to fewer side effects. Dutasteride may be more effective in reducing DHT but has a longer half-life and potentially more significant side effects.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
