The conclusion of this conversation is that the user "DuckSeasonCamelSeasn" found that consuming grapefruit juice prior to taking finasteride or dutasteride helped them become a responder to the medications and regain hair growth.

Some users express concern about dangerous drug interactions, while others argue that grapefruit juice may inhibit the metabolism of finasteride. The conclusion is that grapefruit juice may make finasteride less effective, but it won't affect minoxidil.
Genetic factors, enzyme activity, and DHT sensitivity affect individual responses to hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride. Starting treatments early can slow hair loss, but results vary among individuals.
