research Urinary Retention in Patients with BPH Treated with Finasteride or Placebo Over 4 Years
Finasteride lowers risk of urinary issues and surgery by over 50% in 4 years.
research Combined Sabal And Urtica Extract Vs Finasteride In Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Alken Stage I–II)
Sabal and Urtica extract works as well as finasteride for treating BPH, with fewer side effects.
research Reduced Levels of 5-Alpha Reductase 2 in Adult Prostate Tissue and Implications for BPH Therapy
Some men's prostate tissues have low enzyme levels due to genetic changes, possibly affecting treatment for prostate enlargement.
research Current Pharmacological Treatment for Male LUTS Due to BPH: Dutasteride or Finasteride?
Both dutasteride and finasteride improve urinary symptoms, but dutasteride may be better at reducing the risk of prostate surgery and sudden inability to urinate.
research The Prevention of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
A vaccine may prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

5 / 123 resultscommunity No, Finasteride as a treatment for MPB was not an "accident"
Finasteride was intentionally developed to treat BPH and later approved for male pattern baldness (MPB) due to its 5AR inhibition effects. The delay in MPB approval was due to concerns about off-label use for female hirsutism and the prioritization of treating a more debilitating condition.
community Do we know exactly why some people respond so great to dut/fin,min and others dont?
Genetic factors, enzyme activity, and DHT sensitivity affect individual responses to hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride. Starting treatments early can slow hair loss, but results vary among individuals.
community We need actual hair loss studies on Epristeride
Epristeride is a selective 5 alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor that may reduce scalp DHT similarly to finasteride, with potentially fewer side effects. It is suggested that combining epristeride with finasteride or dutasteride could enhance hair loss treatment effectiveness.
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.
community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
