5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Minoxidil: Sulfotransferase Enzyme booster AVAILABLE NOW
A new product, Minoxidil booster, which enhances sulfotransferase enzyme activity in the scalp, is now available. The user has started using this product, applied before Minoxidil, to improve their hair loss treatment results.
community Started applying minoxidil to my whole scalp a couple months ago rather than just to my crown— is this sort of shedding normal?
Shedding is common with minoxidil, and it often indicates new hair growth. Users discuss experiences with minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, noting that results can vary and patience is needed.
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.
community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.
DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
