(2022 Guide if Finasteride and Minoxidil are not working/ give you sides/are not enough) 77 studies linked!
The post and conversation are about hair loss treatments that have been found to be effective in studies. There are 19 different treatments mentioned, including oral minoxidil, oral dutasteride, topical finasteride, RU58841, and more. The best treatment for an individual depends on factors like availability, cost, side effects, and personal preferences.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community Evidenced Based Meta-Analyses and Systemic Reviews of Androgenic Alopecia and Treatments
Evidence-based treatments for androgenic alopecia, such as minoxidil, finasteride, low-level laser light therapy, dutasteride, platelet-rich plasma, and topical ketoconazole. It discusses the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action of these treatments, as well as future developments in understanding this polygenic condition.
