GT20029 showed significant hair growth and safety in phase II trials, with no adverse sexual events. Users are hopeful but concerned about future costs and systemic effects.

Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss, especially at the crown and midscalp, but both have similar side-effect profiles with low incidence of sexual adverse events. Improvement is measured visually, and significant results may take over 12 months to appear.

PP405 shows promise in stimulating new terminal hair growth by activating dormant follicles, with no systemic adverse effects observed in a short-term trial. However, long-term efficacy remains unproven, and further trials are needed to confirm its potential as a hair loss treatment.
