research Chapter 14: Principles of Drug Metabolism
Drug metabolism affects how long a drug works, its interactions, activation, and toxicity, and is influenced by genetics, diet, illness, and other drugs.
research Albendazole Treatment of Echinococcosis in Humans: Effects on Microsomal Metabolism and Drug Tolerance
Albendazole treatment for echinococcosis can cause serious side effects and requires close monitoring.
research Finasteride, A Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Does Not Affect the Oxidative Metabolism of Antipyrine
Finasteride doesn't affect antipyrine metabolism, so interactions with cytochrome P-450 enzyme drugs are unlikely.
research Finasteride 1 mg Has No Inhibitory Effect on Omeprazole Metabolism in Extensive and Poor Metabolizers for CYP2C19 in Japanese
Finasteride doesn't affect omeprazole metabolism in Japanese people.
research Metabolism of Finasteride in Rat Hepatic Microsomes: Age and Sex Differences and Effects of P450 Inducers
Finasteride metabolism varies by age, sex, and P450 inducers, with males processing it faster.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Serum DHT data wanted for insights into dutasteride efficacy. Please get in touch!
The conversation is about gathering serum DHT data from individuals taking dutasteride to investigate its efficacy, especially in cases with unexpectedly low DHT reduction. The aim is to explore potential genetic factors affecting drug metabolism.
community How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?
Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
community I'm thinking of incorporating tretinoin into my regimen after almost 4.5 years of being on min and 1 mg fin
The conversation is about incorporating tretinoin into a hair loss regimen after using minoxidil and finasteride for years, with discussions on the effectiveness of minoxidil and the potential benefits of adding tretinoin. Users also discuss the effectiveness of oral minoxidil and other topical treatments like diclofenac and fluocinolone.
community Dutasteride thins eyebrows and facial hair but doesn't stop scalp loss.
Dutasteride may not effectively stop scalp hair loss and can cause thinning of facial and body hair, including eyebrows. Users suggest considering other causes like autoimmune conditions or vitamin deficiencies and exploring treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.
community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
