community My case study: DHT serum levels unresponsive to higher topical fin dosages.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 9 upvotes 2 years ago

The user has been using liposomal topical finasteride since late 2022, progressively increasing the dose, but DHT serum levels remain largely unchanged. Despite using finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and ketoconazole, hair condition has neither improved nor worsened.

community Do studies say Finasteride shed is real?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 12 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride may cause hair shedding as part of the regrowth process, but there are no controlled trials confirming this. The shedding idea is mostly based on anecdotal reports and comparisons to how minoxidil works.

community With studies showing that 0.2mg Finasteride is almost as effective as 5mg at reducing DHT, why is every doctor prescribing 1mg?

252 upvotes 10 months ago

Finasteride is prescribed at 1mg because it is FDA-approved and proven effective, despite evidence that 0.2mg may similarly reduce DHT. The 1mg dose is more effective for hair growth, and lower doses are less available.

learn Metformin

Diabetes drug that lowers blood sugar

Can metformin improve scalp health in people with insulin resistance or PCOS? There is no controlled trial showing that metformin improves scalp hair. The PCOS studies most often cited measured unwanted body hair, not scalp density, and a published case report describes hair loss during metformin treatment; any use for hair would be off-label and a decision for a prescribing doctor.
