5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Popular hair loss drug linked to higher suicide risk: compared to non-users, finasteride (Proscar/ Propecia) users have a markedly increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Over 30 years of observation, 19,320 suicides were expected.
Finasteride users may have an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, though some attribute these issues to hair loss itself. The link between finasteride and mental health effects is debated, with varying user experiences.
community Anyone take this arthritis medication?
Upadacitinib is discussed as a high-risk drug for autoimmune-related hair loss. Ruxolitinib is mentioned as an existing treatment option.
community How can a drug which increases prolactin, cause regrowth of hair?
Minoxidil increases hair count despite high prolactin being linked to hair loss. Blocking DHT is effective, but not always necessary; HMI-115 is a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
community Arthritis drug restores 100% hair on 1 in 5 alopecia patients in global trial
An arthritis drug, Rinvoq, restores hair in some alopecia areata patients but is not effective for androgenetic alopecia. It is used for autoimmune-related skin disorders, but its high cost and lack of insurance coverage are issues.
community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.

7 / 801 results- What is tofacitinib, and why is it discussed in relation to autoimmune-related hair loss such as alopecia areata? Tofacitinib is a prescription JAK inhibitor approved for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis — not for alopecia areata. It is discussed for hair loss because a 2014 case report and a 2016 open-label trial reported regrowth in severe alopecia areata, but that use is off-label, the regrowth relapsed after stopping, and the drug carries an FDA boxed warning.
- What side effects or limitations have been reported with Setipiprant use in hair loss research? In the one published hair-loss trial (DuBois 2021, 169 men, 24 weeks), setipiprant produced no significant hair regrowth over placebo. Treatment-related side effects — mostly mild headaches, stomach upset and fatigue — were reported in about a quarter of the setipiprant group versus just over twelve percent on placebo, and no serious events were attributed to the drug. It is an unapproved, experimental compound with no long-term safety data.
