The study reported on the cutaneous side effects of Iressa (ZD1839), an anti-cancer agent used in non-small cell lung cancer patients that inhibited epidermal growth factor receptor signal transduction. The most common side effect was acneiform eruptions on the face, trunk, and back (39%), followed by xerosis or desquamation affecting various body parts (36%). Other side effects included paronychial inflammation (6%), small ulcers in mucosal areas, and urticaria. These effects were similar to those of other agents targeting epidermal growth factor receptors, resulting from interference with skin signaling functions. The acne was linked to follicular changes and inflammation, while xerosis was due to disrupted epidermal proliferation and differentiation. The cause of paronychia and ingrown nails remained unclear.

5 / 14 resultscommunity Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community Why is everyone not directly advised Dutasteride?
Dutasteride is less commonly prescribed for hair loss because it is not FDA-approved for this purpose, unlike finasteride, which is more accessible and preferred due to fewer side effects. Dutasteride may be more effective in reducing DHT but has a longer half-life and potentially more significant side effects.
