      DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.

      Oral minoxidil is causing body hair growth but not improving scalp hair, despite using dutasteride and finasteride. Users suggest waiting longer for results, checking vitamin levels, and considering additional treatments like topical minoxidil, dermarolling, and supplements.
