      community Pyrilutamide ,the molecule’s true nature

      in Research  302 upvotes 10 months ago
      Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgen receptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.

      community Guys, we finally have an alternative to finasteride

      in Research/Science  264 upvotes 1 month ago
      A combination of pyrilutamide, minoxidil, and alfatradiol is proposed as an effective alternative to finasteride for treating mild to moderate hair loss, claiming to stabilize hair loss and improve thickness without finasteride's side effects. Some users are skeptical about the effectiveness and approval of these treatments, while others are interested in trying them due to finasteride's side effects.

      community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective

      in Chat  205 upvotes 3 days ago
      Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
      If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  830 upvotes 10 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
