5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Finasteride vs Dutasteride, something ain’t right.
Finasteride is generally seen as more successful for hair loss than Dutasteride, with fewer negative experiences reported. Dutasteride is considered more effective but often leads to more complaints, possibly due to higher expectations or improper use.
community I honestly think Dutasteride at 2.5mg could be the ultimate cure for hair loss.
Dutasteride at 2.5mg is considered a potential hair loss cure due to its DHT-blocking ability, but there are concerns about side effects and individual responses. Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are also discussed, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness and safety.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
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.
community The ANSM is trying to ban Finasteride
France is considering reviewing finasteride and dutasteride due to concerns about their safety, but a ban in the EU is unlikely due to regulatory hurdles. Many users express frustration over the potential ban, emphasizing the effectiveness of finasteride for hair loss and criticizing the influence of anecdotal evidence on public health policy.
community Finasteride is save in the eu (they concluded the investigation)
Finasteride and dutasteride are still available in the EU, with a warning about potential suicidal thoughts. The benefits of these treatments are deemed greater than the risks.
