RU58841 is absorbed systemically in humans, contradicting claims it stays local, but no harm is proven. Alternatives like CB-03-01 or KX-826, especially with finasteride, are suggested for safety.

A user reports high DHT levels despite taking finasteride and is concerned about inconsistent blood test results. They also take modafinil, vitamin D, and magnesium supplements.

The conversation is about the lack of updates on GT20029, a potential hair loss treatment, and the user considering using dutasteride or RU58841 instead of minoxidil/finasteride due to the long duration of the latter treatments.

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.

A user started using RU58841 before finasteride for hair loss and is now considering stopping RU58841 while continuing finasteride. They are asking if others have maintained hair gains from RU58841 after stopping it, but one response suggests it's risky to stop RU58841 if they want to keep their hair gains.

Hair loss may be linked to the GPR133 receptor, independent of the androgen receptor pathway. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and KX-826 show varying results, with hair loss persisting due to high testosterone and GPR133's role.

Using topical finasteride mixed with Garnier Fructis Stemoxydine for hair loss. Users discuss effectiveness, dosage, and potential risks.

The trichologist recommended products with ingredients like retinol, caffeine, and placenta extract for AGA, but users believe these are ineffective and possibly a scam. They suggest consulting a dermatologist and using proven treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride instead.

The user experienced uncomfortable side effects, including loss of libido, brain fog, and nipple sensitivity, after starting finasteride for hair loss. They are considering stopping the medication due to concerns about gynecomastia and personality changes.

The user has been using oral finasteride for over a year and recently added GHK-CU for two months, seeing progress but seeking further improvement, especially on the hairline. They discuss sourcing GHK-CU, its effects, and the importance of third-party testing, while considering additional treatments like dutasteride and hair transplants for better results.

The conversation discusses the potential effects of supplements like Tongkat Ali and Horny Goat Weed on hair loss when used with Finasteride and Minoxidil. There is uncertainty about whether these supplements, which may increase testosterone, could counteract the DHT-blocking effects of Finasteride.

Finasteride may temporarily increase cortisol levels by inhibiting the 5a-reductase enzyme, potentially causing fatigue and insomnia. The body might adjust over time, but some users report prolonged issues with elevated cortisol and sleep disturbances.

GHK-Cu helped control Seborrheic Dermatitis and reduced scalp irritation, with no immediate change in hair fall or growth. Users reported reduced flakes and healthier skin using GHK-Cu topically.

The conversation discusses the use of RU58841 for hair loss, with concerns about its legality in Germany and potential legal consequences. Alternatives like finasteride and dutasteride are mentioned, with some users questioning the effectiveness and safety of RU58841.

RU58841 is preferred over finasteride for blocking DHT on the scalp, especially for those with aggressive MPB. Creatine is associated with increased hair shedding, even when using RU58841.

DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of reducing DHT for hair loss treatment and explores alternative approaches like reducing androgen receptor sensitivity. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide (KX-826), GT20029, and RU58841.

The conversation discusses using RU58841 or Pyrilutamide for hair loss, with some users suggesting switching to more proven treatments like oral or topical finasteride. One user reports no progress with RU58841, finasteride, and minoxidil, and mentions experiencing regression.

Pyrilutamide and RU58841 are androgen receptor antagonists that block receptors without significantly reducing testosterone or DHT levels. Any indirect effect on androgen levels is likely negligible.

The conversation discusses concerns about starting finasteride with low testosterone levels, with one person suggesting finasteride might increase testosterone and decrease DHT, and another advising to pay attention to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels.

An 18-year-old is considering testosterone replacement therapy with finasteride or dutasteride for hair loss but worries about side effects. Users recommend alternatives like minoxidil, RU58841, and consulting a doctor.

Isotretinoin and tretinoin are different; isotretinoin can cause hair loss and has more side effects. Tretinoin may affect minoxidil absorption, and users suggest waiting before applying minoxidil.

Tretinoin is not commonly linked to hair loss and can enhance the effects of Minoxidil. Users recommend starting with lower doses and gradually increasing to avoid scalp irritation.

CB-03-01 is considered too costly and lacks a proper delivery method, making it less viable compared to RU58841, which has shown effectiveness with minimal side effects. Finasteride caused a drop in libido for one user.

The user has been using topical finasteride since October without improvement and is considering adding a caffeine product with dimethylglycine. Another user suggests caffeine is more promising and advises consulting a dermatologist about the lack of progress with finasteride.

An 18-year-old male with hair loss is considering starting finasteride but is concerned about potential side effects like gynecomastia due to his prolactin levels. He seeks guidance on whether his bloodwork indicates it's safe to begin treatment.

After 3.5 months on 1mg finasteride daily, the user experienced elevated free testosterone levels and hair thinning, with side effects like low libido and watery semen. Concerns were raised about hormone levels, with suggestions to monitor estradiol levels.

The conversation discusses using supplements like zinc, L-Arginine, and ginseng to counteract finasteride side effects like lower libido and lack of morning erections. Users share their experiences with finasteride, noting varied side effects and the use of additional supplements like ginkgo and fish oil.

The user stopped using finasteride and tried turmeric, ginger, and perilla extract to reduce hair shedding, noticing a significant decrease in hair loss. They experienced side effects like rashes and easy bleeding from perilla extract and softer feet, possibly from turmeric.
