community Using licorice with minoxidil to offset lowering of blood pressure

4 upvotes 3 years ago

Using licorice to counteract the blood pressure-lowering effects of oral minoxidil. Concerns about licorice affecting potassium levels and minoxidil's effectiveness were raised.

community A lot of blood tests that I have done until now (Mainly Hormones).

4 upvotes 5 years ago

The user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, including oral and topical Finasteride and Minoxidil, and detailed various blood test results to track hormonal changes. They noted that while DHT levels initially decreased with topical Finasteride, they later increased, but they observed positive results in hair growth.

community Is this Better Than Topical Minoxidil? Topical Diazoxide

6 upvotes 1 year ago

Topical diazoxide may be a promising hair regrowth treatment, especially for those who don't respond to minoxidil, as it activates potassium channels without needing sulfation. It appears safe for topical use, avoiding systemic effects seen in oral use.

community The Fear of Oral Minoxidil is Overblown

272 upvotes 1 year ago

Low-dose oral minoxidil is a safe and effective hair loss treatment with fewer side effects than previously feared. Users often prefer it over topical minoxidil for better results, though some experience side effects like increased body hair and cardiovascular issues.

community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !

324 upvotes 11 months ago

Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.

learn Clascoterone

Can I use clascoterone if I'm undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy? No published clinical trial has tested clascoterone in people on gender-affirming hormone therapy, so its safety in that group is unknown. The FDA label reports low systemic exposure and no described effect on blood testosterone, but it also records HPA-axis suppression and raised potassium in a small minority of subjects.

learn Minoxidil

Vasodilator used on the scalp and, at low doses, as a tablet

What are the side effects of minoxidil, and can oral minoxidil affect your heart? Minoxidil tablets are a blood-pressure drug whose US label carries a boxed warning for fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion, sometimes tamponade) and worsening angina; use for hair loss is off-label, and studies of low doses describe mostly mild effects but rare serious heart events. Do not start or change minoxidil without a doctor, and if chest pain, a racing heartbeat, breathlessness, fainting, swelling or rapid weight gain develop, stop and seek medical care.

learn zinc PCA

What does zinc do in hair follicles, and does low zinc affect hair loss? Zinc is needed for cell growth, including in hair follicles, and studies link low blood zinc with some types of hair loss. Zinc supplements have been tested only in small studies of people who were low in zinc.
Should zinc be taken orally or applied topically for better results in hair growth? Oral zinc has been studied mainly in people with a low blood zinc level, and no trial compares oral and topical zinc for hair growth. Zinc pyrithione shampoo gave a small hair-count gain in one trial, less than half that of minoxidil.

Red-light devices, such as caps, combs and helmets, used on the scalp

learn Vitamin D

Can Vitamin D deficiency trigger excessive hair shedding? Observational studies link low vitamin D with some kinds of shedding, but they have not shown that it causes it. A blood test and a doctor can check your level.
