1 / 801 results- What is Setipiprant and how does it differ from DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride? Setipiprant blocks the prostaglandin D2 receptor DP2 rather than the DHT pathway that finasteride and dutasteride act on. The one published human trial — a 169-man, 24-week phase 2a study at 2,000 mg a day — reported no statistically significant improvement in hair density over placebo, and setipiprant is not an approved hair-loss medicine anywhere.
