research Flavonoids as Potential Wound-Healing Molecules: Emphasis on Pathways Perspective

188 citations , February 2023 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This review compiled evidence suggesting that flavonoids may promote skin wound healing due to their anti-inflammatory, angiogenesis, re-epithelialization, and antioxidant properties, while also discussing current limitations and future prospects for these compounds as wound-healing agents.

research A placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover study of fluoxetine in trichotillomania

180 citations , November 1991 in “American Journal of Psychiatry”

165 citations , February 1994 in “Fertility and Sterility”

This study found that flutamide was more effective than spironolactone in reducing symptoms of hirsutism and related conditions in premenopausal women, with fewer discontinuations due to side effects.

research Effects of Flutamide and Finasteride on Rat Testicular Descent

143 citations , August 1991 in “Endocrinology”

This study found that blocking androgen receptors inhibits testicular descent in rats more effectively during the early stages of gubernacular outgrowth than inhibiting 5a-reductase.

community Fluridil (Eucapil) seems like a great option?

4 upvotes 9 months ago

The user stopped using finasteride due to side effects and is considering Fluridil (Eucapil) as an alternative for hair loss treatment. They are exploring other options like RU58841 and are interested in the experiences of others with Fluridil, noting its good safety profile despite the cost.

community FLEAVA are scammers! Buyer beware

4 upvotes 1 year ago

FLEAVA is accused of scamming customers by enrolling them in unwanted monthly subscriptions for Advanced Copper Peptide without consent. Many users struggled to get refunds and reported ongoing charges despite cancellation requests.

community Flakey scalp due to minoxidil?

in Minoxidil 7 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil can cause scalp flaking and dryness, often due to its alcohol content. Switching to foam minoxidil or using antifungal shampoos like Ketoconazole may help reduce these side effects.

community Fluridil degrades the androgen receptor.

in Research/Science 12 upvotes 1 year ago

Fluridil degrades androgen receptors, which are prevalent in the scalp and other tissues. People with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) may have higher expression of these receptors and 5AR activity in affected scalp areas.

community What can I mix Eucapil (fluridil) with?

1 upvotes 1 year ago

Fluridil should not be mixed with minoxidil due to water content. Mixing with stemoxydine or alfatradiol is being considered for easier application.

a topical anti-androgen with less systemic involvement

Is Fluridil only for men with androgenetic alopecia, or can women use it too? The only published clinical study of fluridil enrolled 43 men, so its use in women is untested rather than established; women considering it should talk to a doctor, and it is not advised in pregnancy or breastfeeding because no reproductive-safety data exists.
Can daily Fluridil application stop hair follicle miniaturization? The single published fluridil trial (43 men, 9 months, double-blind and placebo-controlled) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.
How is Fluridil different from other DHT blockers like finasteride? Fluridil is a topical androgen-receptor blocker applied to the scalp, while finasteride is an oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT throughout the body. Finasteride is FDA-approved and far better studied; Fluridil rests on one 43-man trial and is not licensed as a hair-loss medicine, so its long-term safety and effect size are unknown.
