community Common hair-loss drug consistently associated with higher rates of psychiatric harm

in Research/Science 183 upvotes 11 months ago

Finasteride and dutasteride can cause psychiatric side effects like depression and suicidal thoughts in some users, especially those with a history of mental health issues. While some users experience positive hair growth results, others face severe psychological effects, raising concerns about their safety and the need for careful monitoring.

community Jeff Vincent and his stealth drug growth stimulant is on track for Q1 2027

89 upvotes 1 month ago

A new hair growth drug claims to reverse severe hair loss without using minoxidil, finasteride, or hormone-altering drugs, but many are skeptical due to lack of evidence and concerns about misleading claims. The drug is expected to be released in early 2027, but its legitimacy is questioned.

community Finasteride really is a miracle drug

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 181 upvotes 8 months ago

Finasteride and minoxidil help maintain hair and slightly improve hairlines but are less effective at regrowing hair in bald areas, often needing a hair transplant for full restoration. Many users report no side effects and wish they had started treatment earlier.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 7 upvotes 1 year ago

learn Bicalutamide

Could bicalutamide help trans women regrow hair lost to testosterone? No study has tested bicalutamide for hair regrowth in trans women. In cisgender women the only randomized trial found it added nothing to minoxidil, and it is an off-label prescription drug that requires liver monitoring.
What results can you expect from using bicalutamide on your scalp? There is no published human study of bicalutamide applied to the scalp for hair loss, no licensed topical product and no established dose, so no result can be predicted from it. The evidence that exists is for the oral tablet in women, which is a prescription drug requiring liver monitoring and contraindicated in pregnancy.
Can bicalutamide stop DHT from shrinking your hair follicles? Bicalutamide blocks androgens at the receptor rather than lowering DHT, and some dermatologists prescribe it off-label for women with pattern hair loss. The published evidence is retrospective case series and one small pilot study, with no randomized trial; it is a prescription drug that requires liver monitoring and is contraindicated in pregnancy.

learn Cyproterone

Do I need a prescription to take cyproterone? Cyproterone acetate is a prescription-only medicine in every country that licenses it, and it has no FDA approval in the United States — regulators require a prescriber because the drug needs hormonal and liver monitoring and carries a dose-related meningioma risk flagged by the EMA in 2020.
Is cyproterone safe to use during gender transition? Regulators and a large French cohort study link higher-dose, long-term cyproterone acetate to meningioma, and its label also lists liver-enzyme and mood effects — so it is not a drug anyone should call safe in the abstract, and its use in gender-affirming care is a prescriber's decision with monitoring.
