A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.
community Finasteride, also known as Propecia or Proscar, treats male pattern baldness and enlarged prostate in millions of men worldwide. But a new study suggests the drug may also provide a surprising and life-saving benefit: lowering cholesterol and cutting the overall risk of cardiovascular disease.
The conversation discusses the potential benefits of finasteride (Fin) for lowering cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular disease risk, with users sharing personal experiences and opinions on the medication's effects on health and hair loss. Some users report positive changes in cholesterol levels after taking finasteride, while others are skeptical or joke about its effects.
community Loosing hope after not seeing improvement in hair regrowth.
A 22-year-old male is not seeing hair regrowth after using minoxidil and finasteride for a year and additional treatments for three months. Suggestions include improving scalp absorption with sea salt and trying a lipid-based solution, microneedling, and possibly switching to dutasteride if no improvement after 1-2 years.
community Anyone experienced weight gain on dutasteride?
Dutasteride can lead to increased cholesterol and liver fat. The user is reconsidering its use due to high cholesterol and lipid levels despite a healthy lifestyle.
