Did you mean Cytochrome P450?

Glossary Cytochrome P450

enzymes metabolize drugs and toxins in the liver

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) refers to a large family of enzymes that play a crucial role in the metabolism of various substances within the body, including drugs, toxins, and hormones. These enzymes are primarily found in the liver and are essential for the detoxification process, as well as the synthesis of cholesterol, steroids, and other lipids.

community here is why isotretinoin might cause hair loss and maybe why dupa happens.

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 3 years ago

Isotretinoin may cause hair loss by increasing DHT through a precursor androgen, DHEAS. Treatments like topical antiandrogens (RU58841, pyrilutamide) and drugs increasing PPAR-y expression (pioglitazone) might prevent this hair loss.

community Oral Minoxidil and Grapefruit Juice

in Research/Science 96 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation is about the potential dangers of taking oral minoxidil and grapefruit juice together. 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.

community How to BECOME a RESPONDER to Fin/Dut if you are not responding

308 upvotes 3 years ago

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. However, there are warnings about potential risks and interactions with other medications, so caution should be exercised.

community Fin/Dut and Metabolism Speeds…

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 8 upvotes 2 years ago

A user speculates that a fast metabolism might affect the effectiveness of dutasteride for hair loss. Another user argues that drug response is unrelated to metabolism speed.

community Methods Of Staying Safe On Ru58841 - My 2 Cents

in Research/Science 21 upvotes 1 year ago

RU58841 is used topically to prevent hair loss by blocking DHT, with suggestions to drink grapefruit juice, take breaks, avoid microneedling, and use lower concentrations to reduce side effects. Users discuss applying it at night to minimize systemic absorption.
