5 / 24 resultscommunity 5ar alpha reductase stimulation is different depending on whether it’s type 1 or 2
The conversation discusses how different factors can stimulate type 1 and type 2 isoforms of 5-alpha reductase, which are enzymes linked to hair loss. Specific treatments mentioned include oral Dutasteride and topical Finasteride.
community Topical Dutasteride - Non-Hormonal, Side Effect Free 5ARI?
Topical dutasteride is suggested as a low side-effect treatment for hair loss, with a proposed dose of 0.025% 1ml/day. It is considered better than finasteride due to its even inhibition of DHT isoforms and lower systemic absorption.
community Finasteride + Cialis together long term?
The user has been on 1mg finasteride for a year, experiencing low libido and moderate erectile issues. They are considering using Cialis daily with finasteride long term to address these side effects.
community Question: Thickness Improvement from Finasteride to Dutasteride Switch?
Switching from finasteride and minoxidil to dutasteride and minoxidil can potentially lead to over 40% improvement in hair thickness in some cases, especially in young individuals who have plateaued after initial success. Generally, a 20% improvement is expected after six months.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
