5 / 134 resultscommunity Dutasteride: Can You Miss for 50 Days Without Losing Progress?
Missing dutasteride for up to 50 days likely won't cause significant hair loss if used for over six months, as it provides long-lasting DHT suppression. Continuing other treatments like minoxidil and scalp care is recommended during any break.
community If anyone else feels like they’re too far gone for a hair transplant or can’t tolerate finasteride, I highly recommend trying a hair system! You have nothing to lose and it can change your life. I understand the worries and concerns, as I was very nervous/scared before taking the leap. AMA

community EU Shouldn't Ban Fin & Dut: PFS is NOT REAL.
Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause depression or "Post Finasteride Syndrome," with concerns often linked to the nocebo effect and preexisting mental health issues. The EU is unlikely to ban these drugs, but access may become more restricted due to ongoing debates.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
