5 / 29 resultscommunity EMA is re-examining Winlevi (clascoterone at lower concentration)
Clascoterone in Winlevi, a topical AR antagonist, is being re-examined due to concerns about HPA axis suppression in adolescents, but it's unlikely to be banned for adult use in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The European Medicines Agency recommended refusing Winlevi for acne vulgaris, but this may not affect Breezula's approval for AGA.
community There’s actually a quite good chance that next year, we might see a new treatment get FDA approval for the first time in nearly three decades.
Breezula, a potential new hair loss treatment, may receive FDA approval soon, but it is expected to be a weaker alternative to finasteride and minoxidil. Concerns include its twice-daily application and possible side effects like HPA axis suppression.
community Is hydrocortisone that bad for your scalp?
Hydrocortisone is not recommended for long-term use on the scalp due to potential side effects like thinning and steroid-related issues. Alternatives like foam minoxidil or oral minoxidil are suggested, though foam may be less effective.
community Mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol)
The conversation discusses the mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol) in treating hair loss. It explores theories that it either inhibits 5 alpha reductase to prevent T->DHT conversion or aromatizes scalp T into 17-alpha-estradiol to save hair.
community Anyone used CB-03-01 (clascoterone), is it worth it, too risky??
The user experienced side effects from low-dose topical finasteride and is considering using clascoterone (CB-03-01) despite concerns about its risks and cost. They seek advice on its effectiveness and potential side effects compared to other treatments like alfatradiol and fluridil.
