      community CB-03-01: I need help

      in Treatment  7 upvotes 3 years ago
      The user stopped using finasteride and RU58841 and is considering CB-03-01 for androgenic alopecia but is concerned about the cost and effectiveness, especially at a lower dose than in clinical trials. They are also using minoxidil, micro-needling, and nizoral shampoo but are unsure about the correct application method for CB-03-01.

      community Likelihood of a new treatment?

      in Chat  6 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      New hair loss treatments like stem cells, hair cloning, and gt20029 are unlikely to be available in the next 5-10 years, with some trials possibly starting by 2026. Current treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride have been used for decades, and new developments depend on funding and successful trials.

      The conversation is about the debate over the existence of Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) and its symptoms, with some users skeptical about PFS and others discussing side effects like erectile dysfunction and gynecomastia from hair loss treatments like finasteride. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, viagra, and a joke about using a popsicle stick for erectile support.
