Hair loss discussion focuses on adding an anti-androgen to stack with topical finasteride. Eucapil (fluridil) is suggested for its safety and minimal side effects.

The user healthydudenextdoor starting a new topical anti-androgen hair loss treatment, Pyrilutamide, and discussing their current regimen of finasteride and minoxidil.

Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.

The conversation discusses using ketoconazole, an anti-androgen, for hair loss and whether mesotherapy with dermarolling could enhance its absorption into the scalp. The user questions if the typical 2% ketoconazole shampoo dose would be effective when used after dermarolling to target androgen receptors in the scalp.

The GT20029 tincture, a topical androgen receptor degrader, showed significant hair growth and good safety in a China Phase II trial for male androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with the 1% dose twice weekly identified as optimal. The company plans to initiate Phase III trials in China and Phase II in the U.S., and the treatment also shows promise for acne.

The possible increased risk of severe Covid-19 cases in men due to higher androgen levels, and how taking medications such as finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone, enzalutamide, or canabidiol might help mitigate the severity of the disease.

Pyrilutamide is officially available for purchase, and users suggest Fluridil as an alternative topical anti-androgen. Some users report positive results with pyrilutamide from Koshine.

The post discusses using ImageJ software to objectively track hair regrowth progress. The user is treating Androgen alopecia with dutasteride and minoxidil.

The conversation discusses GT20029, a drug in Phase II trials that targets androgen receptors with minimal systemic effects, and TDM-105795, a growth stimulant with a different mechanism than minoxidil that may revive papilla stem cells. Both are potential new treatments for hair loss.

The conversation discusses using finasteride or dutasteride to reduce DHT, CosmeRNA to target androgen receptors, and Minoxidil as a vasodilator for hair growth. The regimen aims to maintain hair by addressing DHT-AR ratio and continuous Minoxidil use.

The conversation discusses GT20029 as a potential hair loss treatment that could act like a cure by targeting androgen receptors in scalp hair follicles. Specific treatments mentioned include GT20029, with a user expressing hope that it could make male pattern baldness obsolete.

The conversation discusses maintaining hair regrowth using minoxidil and finasteride and whether using gt20029, which degrades androgen receptors, would affect this. Fluridil, a similar treatment, can disable over 90% of active androgen receptors.

The conversation discusses GT20029, a compound by Kintor Pharma that degrades androgen receptors and is in trials, with potential as a hair loss cure. Another promising treatment mentioned is an antibody that blocks prolactin and has shown positive results in macaques.

Hopeful treatments for hair loss, including Verteporfin, Androgen Receptor Degradation, and SCUBE3. These treatments offer potential solutions to slow or stop the effects of androgens on the scalp.

Chinese company gets green light for Pyrilutamide Phase II trial for androgenetic alopecia. Androgen receptors downregulate in androgen deficient environments.

Someone looking for solutions to their hair loss, who has tried and failed to tolerate anti-androgen treatments such as finasteride, CB-03-01, RU58841, and Eucapil. The user is seeking advice and understanding of their extreme sensitivity to these treatments.

The group buy for CB-03-01, a topical anti-androgen for hair loss, was postponed and refunded due to issues with the product's form and solubility. The product, also known as Breezula, is an alternative to finasteride with fewer side effects, but its official release is delayed until 2021.

Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgen receptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.

A user is experiencing continued hair loss despite using 0.5mg dutasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil, and is seeking advice on why the treatments aren't working and how to address potential androgen receptor sensitivity. Replies suggest getting tested and considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP).

The conversation is about the results of using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen and finasteride for hair loss, and switching from finasteride to bicalutamide as an anti-androgen treatment. The user shared before and after photos to discuss the effectiveness of these treatments.

The conversation discusses whether creatine causes hair loss for those using finasteride or dutasteride, with some suggesting creatine might increase DHT or upregulate androgen receptors, potentially leading to hair loss. Others argue the evidence is not conclusive, citing limited studies and personal anecdotes, with some avoiding creatine as a precaution.

Minoxidil helps hair growth on both scalp and face, but stopping it leads to hair loss on the scalp, not the face. The user questions why scalp hair can't be maintained with finasteride or androgen blockers after stopping minoxidil, despite these treatments reducing DHT damage.

The conversation discusses doubts about the effectiveness of topical finasteride for hair loss, suggesting that DHT could be produced elsewhere in the body and affect the scalp. It proposes that androgen receptor antagonists like spironolactone and clascoterone might be more effective as they could prevent this potential bypass mechanism.

A transgender individual is starting spironolactone and estradiol for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and is considering adding finasteride to help with hair loss. They are also planning to use minoxidil and microneedle, but are unsure if they need to use another anti-androgen or more aggressive treatments. A respondent advises against using pyri and suggests waiting to see if the HRT alone is sufficient before becoming dependent on minoxidil.

He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.

Pyrilutamide is believed to be more effective than RU58841 and 1 mg finasteride in treating hair loss, with no systemic hormonal effects and the potential to block more than 31% of scalp DHT. It may also antagonize scalp testosterone due to its action as an androgen receptor antagonist.

The conversation discusses using zinc sulphate and azelaic acid to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase activity, which could potentially treat androgen-related skin conditions like hair loss. Combining these with vitamin B6 could enhance the effect, potentially offering an alternative to finasteride.

Hair loss treatments Cosmerna, RU, and Pyri discussed. Cosmerna inhibits androgen receptors, but not 100%, so RU/Pyri can be used synergistically.

Gym and creatine can cause hair loss by increasing testosterone and androgenic activity. DHT blockers may help some, while others need androgen suppression with topical AA like RU or Pyri.

CosmeRNA, a new hair loss treatment, is expected to release soon and may become part of the "big three" treatments alongside finasteride and minoxidil. It works differently from finasteride by targeting androgen receptors in hair follicles, potentially offering fewer side effects.
