5 / 874 resultscommunity This sub in a nutshell when it comes to medicine. Oral Minoxidil isn’t that bad
The post and conversation are about the use of oral Minoxidil (Min), Finasteride (Fin), and RU58841 for hair loss treatment, with mixed opinions on their safety and effectiveness.
community My RU58841 Progress / Hair loss journey
A user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, including RU58841, ketoconazole shampoo, caffeine shampoo, and topical finasteride. They found RU58841 effective for diffuse thinning but experienced severe hair loss after stopping it; topical finasteride worked well for a receding hairline but caused side effects. They also use a charcoal shampoo and practice scalp massages.
community How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
community Dutasteride is possibly BETTER for the brain than Finasteride
Dutasteride may be better for the brain than Finasteride, potentially increasing dopamine levels and causing fewer side effects. For those switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride to prevent hair loss, it's recommended to continue Finasteride for 3-4 months while starting Dutasteride to avoid shedding due to Dutasteride's long half-life.
community DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain
The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.
