5 / 1000+ resultscommunity One year off fin/min and I regret it
The user regrets stopping finasteride and minoxidil due to side effects but plans to resume treatment. They consider using finasteride every other day and continuing topical minoxidil to manage side effects while maintaining hair.
community We need actual hair loss studies on Epristeride
Epristeride is a selective 5 alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor that may reduce scalp DHT similarly to finasteride, with potentially fewer side effects. It is suggested that combining epristeride with finasteride or dutasteride could enhance hair loss treatment effectiveness.
community What about cofactor NADPH ? Why don't we ever talk about it ?
The conversation discusses the role of NADPH in hair loss and the potential impact of creatine and B complex vitamins on hair shedding. The user theorizes that increasing NAD levels with B complex vitamins may reduce hair shedding, despite using finasteride and minoxidil for 9 months.
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.
community Is my logic correct? Someone who’s been balding at a really slow pace needs less fin than someone who’s losing everything within a couple of years
Person 1, with slow hair loss, might need less finasteride than Person 2, who is balding rapidly. The suggested doses are 0.25 mg finasteride three times a week for Person 1 and 1 mg daily for Person 2.
