learn Dutasteride

Heavy duty finasteride that comes with higher risks

learn Overview

learn Follistatin

How does follistatin compare to finasteride or dutasteride for treating androgenic alopecia? Finasteride and dutasteride are prescription drugs with large controlled trials showing they lower DHT and slow androgenic hair loss, at the cost of documented hormonal side effects; follistatin targets a different, regenerative pathway but has only one small phase 1 human trial behind it, so it is experimental with unknown safety rather than a comparable alternative.

learn Finasteride

Is Finasteride unbeatable or are there equally powerful alternatives? Trials report finasteride as the single medication with the strongest measured effect in male androgenetic alopecia, while dutasteride, minoxidil, topical finasteride, PRP, LLLT and microneedling all have supporting studies and are often reported to work better in combination. Finasteride, dutasteride and oral minoxidil are prescription-only, and several of these uses are off-label.
Topical or oral? Choosing between pills and lotions according to your case. Topical finasteride offers localized treatment with fewer systemic side effects than oral finasteride.
Do you want finasteride to penetrate better? The ideal solvent to maximize its effect. Formulation sources describe propylene glycol and microemulsion vehicles as increasing how much topical finasteride crosses the skin, but better penetration has not been shown to mean better hair results, and it also raises systemic exposure. The vehicle and strength are decisions for a prescriber or compounding pharmacist.
