5 / 681 resultscommunity How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
community Is it possible that dutasteride won’t make you depressedd if finasteride did?
The conversation discusses whether dutasteride might cause less depression than finasteride for hair loss treatment, with some users suggesting it could due to different mechanisms of action or molecular size, while others express skepticism or share personal experiences with these medications.
community Molecule PP405: A Research Team Backed By Google Ventures Has Discovered One Of The Most Promising Solutions For Hair Loss To Date
PP405 is a promising new treatment for hair loss that activates dormant stem cells in hair follicles, potentially bypassing the effects of DHT. It is currently in phase 2 trials and could be available between 2027 and 2030, but it is not considered a definitive cure.
community NEW STUDY :why finasteride and dutasteride does not cause dry eyes
Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause dry eyes by damaging meibomian glands, as these glands continue to function normally even when DHT is blocked. Some users report dry eyes with these medications, but others suggest supplements like Omega-3 or krill oil as potential remedies.
community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
