5 / 131 resultscommunity You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance
Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
community C’est terrible - at my wits end
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 My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community Logical reason as to why people don't get results on dutasteride?
Many users report better results with finasteride than dutasteride for hair loss, despite studies suggesting otherwise. Some suggest that dutasteride's effectiveness may depend on the delivery method, such as using lipids for absorption.
community Haircafe: Are dutasteride tablets less effective than dutasteride gel capsules?
Dutasteride tablets are less effective than softgel capsules because they require a fat-based environment for proper absorption. Softgel capsules, like Avodart, are designed to maximize bioavailability, while powdered tablets may result in significantly lower DHT suppression.
