4 / 4 resultscommunity Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) VS Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)
Finasteride and Nizoral shampoo with Ketoconazole are used for hair loss treatment. Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is recommended over Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for more accurate DHT testing.
community Dutasteride isn’t working confirmed by test.
Dutasteride isn't effectively reducing DHT levels, prompting a switch back to finasteride. The user questions the reliability of their DHT test results due to hair loss concerns.
community Feel like I'm a reasonably good responder
The user "OP" reported significant hair regrowth using oral finasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, and derma stamping. OP experienced initial shedding but no other side effects.
