Minoxidil and caffeine are discussed for hair loss treatment. The user questions the logic of combining them due to their opposing effects on adenosine receptors.
The conversation discusses whether drinking coffee affects the hairgrowth benefits of Minoxidil, with one user mentioning that Minoxidil's vasodilation is stronger than caffeine's vasoconstriction, and another sharing personal experience of better hairgrowth after quitting caffeine while on Minoxidil.
A user shared that after quitting caffeine and restarting oral minoxidil, they experienced significant hair regrowth, suggesting that caffeine might interfere with minoxidil's effectiveness by blocking adenosine receptors. They also mentioned side effects like water retention and dizziness, which subsided after a few weeks, and are not using any DHT blockers.
A 35-year-old MTF individual shared their hair recovery journey, using Minoxidil, Dutasteride, Estradiol, Spironolactone, Microneedling, and Exosomes. They recently had a hair transplant and are documenting the healing process.

A personalized topical anti-hair loss serum could include high-dose setipiprant, high-dose CB 03-01, low-dose finasteride, minoxidil, latanoprost, and tretinoin. These ingredients are suggested for their potential effectiveness in promoting hairgrowth.
A 21-year-old is using Dualgen-5R (minoxidil and tretinoin) and weekly dermarolling to address hair loss, noticing some progress after three months. They plan to add an anti-androgen like RU58841 or Kx826 for better long-term results.
The user shared their 5-year hair loss journey, initially using a product called Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer, which gave good results. Later, they switched to FDA-approved medications finasteride and minoxidil, which also helped, but they noticed the most significant progress with Triphasic. They're considering trying it again if minoxidil doesn't show improvements.
The conversation discusses using 2.5mg dutasteride, 0.5mg dutasteride with topical treatments, and other combinations like oral minoxidil, RU58841, and microneedling for male pattern baldness. Users share experiences and suggest various treatment regimens, emphasizing the effectiveness of dutasteride and minoxidil.
Minoxidil and caffeine may interact, affecting hairgrowth results. Users shared mixed experiences, with some noticing improvements without caffeine and others still seeing results despite coffee consumption.
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
