community How does finasteride leave your body?

in Chat 13 upvotes 10 months ago

Finasteride is metabolized in the liver and excreted through urine and feces. Users humorously discuss its excretion, with one joking about it being expelled through ejaculation.

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

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 1 year 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 Should I apply my grapefruit topically instead of injecting it into my bloodstream?

in Satire 74 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is a satirical discussion about using grapefruit for hair regrowth, with suggestions ranging from injecting it to applying it topically or anally. Some users claim unusual benefits like emitting a green aura or jumping high.

community Methods Of Staying Safe On Ru58841 - My 2 Cents

in Research/Science 12 upvotes 1 month 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.

community Fin/Dut and Metabolism Speeds…

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 8 upvotes 5 months 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.
