The user is addressing hair loss with finasteride, dutasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, dermarolling, and shampoos. They are considering adding essential oils to improve circulation.
A 21-year-old male experienced side effects from topical finasteride and is seeking alternative treatments to maintain hair until Breezula is available. He is considering using minoxidil, Nizoral, micro-needling, and vitamin D supplementation, and may try CB or RU58841 if necessary.
The conversation discusses Perez Hilton's hair loss despite having three hair transplants. Participants suggest that hair loss can continue after a transplant if maintenance treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are not used, and that transplanted hair can still be susceptible to loss.
The conversation is about the effects of steroids on hair loss. Some users believe that steroids can cause hair loss, while others argue that it depends on individual sensitivity to DHT. There is also discussion about the appearance of balding individuals who use steroids.
Treatments for hair loss, including topical immunotherapy, regenerative treatments, laser and light-based therapies, oral supplements, intralesional steroids, and new drugs like finasteride and minoxidil.
KX-826 initially improves hair growth but declines after 24 weeks, with mild itching as a side effect. Combining it with minoxidil and finasteride may improve results, but long-term effectiveness is uncertain.
Finasteride significantly increased testosterone levels for the user, with no major side effects except watery semen, which was resolved with zinc supplements. The user's hairline stopped receding and slightly improved.
Researching and developing an effective local antagonist to block the androgenreceptors for hair loss, as opposed to using DHT synthesis inhibitors that lower serum DHT levels. Several treatments such as CosmeRNA and Pyrilutamide are currently in development or undergoing trials.
Topical androgenreceptor antagonists may not be necessary if 5-AR inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride effectively reduce DHT levels. Combining a 5-AR inhibitor with a topical androgen antagonist could potentially enhance treatment, but oral use of androgen antagonists is too risky due to severe side effects.
Pyrilutamide and RU58841 are androgenreceptor antagonists that block receptors without significantly reducing testosterone or DHT levels. Any indirect effect on androgen levels is likely negligible.
The post discusses using 2% ketoconazole shampoo as a competitive androgenreceptor antagonist for hair loss, applied for 1.5 hours daily. The user questions its effectiveness and potential benefits compared to finasteride and minoxidil.
Fluridil may decrease the number of androgenreceptors in hair follicles by up to 95%. This suggests a different action mechanism from other non-steroidal antiandrogens like RU58841, indicating they might be used together.
The conversation discusses topical androgenreceptor blockers for hair loss, mentioning Clascoterone, Pyrilutamide, GT20029, and RU58841. Ketoconazole's effectiveness and application methods are also debated.
Breezula's phase 3 results are expected soon, with discussions on the effectiveness of androgenreceptor antagonists like spironolactone and the potential of GT20029. Users express skepticism about new treatments and discuss the complexities of male pattern baldness, often relying on finasteride despite its side effects.
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 androgenreceptor antagonists like spironolactone and clascoterone might be more effective as they could prevent this potential bypass mechanism.
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 androgenreceptor antagonist.
The user is seeking advice on improving their hair loss treatment regimen, considering changes to their topical solution, and is curious about others' daily routines and recommendations for medications and supplements. They are contemplating switching Tretinoin for Tazarotene, Latanoprost for Bimatoprost, and possibly adding Alfatradiol, Topical Melatonin, or a topical androgenreceptor antagonist.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of anti-androgens for hair loss, with a preference for topical treatments like RU58841 over oral options due to better scalp concentration and fewer side effects. Topical finasteride at 0.1% may provide some results, especially when combined with a topical androgenreceptor antagonist like RU58841.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of reducing DHT for hair loss treatment and explores alternative approaches like reducing androgenreceptor sensitivity. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide (KX-826), GT20029, and RU58841.
Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgenreceptors. 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.
Hair loss treatments discussed include Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, and Nizoral shampoo. Nizoral's effectiveness is debated, with some suggesting it works as a weak antagonist for androgenreceptors, while others attribute its benefits to anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
Pyrilutamide, a potential hair loss treatment that is currently in development and may be available soon; an androgenreceptor degrader which is also being developed as a potential treatment for hair loss; and the comparison between Pyrilutamide, finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841.
Breezula (clascoterone) and Formula 82F (topical finasteride) are treatments for hair loss that block DHT differently; Breezula competes with DHT at the hormone receptor site without systemic effects, while 82F inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. Breezula may work for those who don't respond to finasteride and vice versa.
Treatments for hair loss, focusing on Fluridil/Topilutamide (Eucapil), Finasteride and RU58841 (Alfatradiol). The user reported that the Fluridil seemed to work well but had side effects of testicle ache, decreased mood and sex drive.
How androgens, including testosterone, can cause hair follicles to miniaturize in people with sensitivity to androgens, and treatments such as finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, or fluridil may be used in combination for long-term treatment.
A user shared a six-month update on hair improvement using Pyrilutamide and Minoxidil, noting significant hair regrowth and strength. Some participants questioned the legitimacy of the results and the source of Pyrilutamide.
Topical spironolactone is gaining attention as an alternative hair loss treatment, but it's not as effective as other options like finasteride. Oral spironolactone can cause side effects in men, and there are better topical alternatives like RU, Pyril, and CB.
KX-826 (Pyrilutamide) being tested in the US for hair loss treatment and that they have found enough people to participate in phase II clinical trials. Other treatments discussed are Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Breezula protects hair follicles from both testosterone and DHT, unlike finasteride, which only protects against DHT. This could potentially lead to significant hair regrowth, similar to results seen in transgender individuals using hormone blockers.
