5 / 485 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 What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
community Which retinoid for better min absorption?
User is on vacation in Greece and wants to buy tretinoin or isotretinoin to improve Minoxidil absorption. They are considering isotretinoin since it is available over-the-counter in Greece but requires a prescription back home.
community First people receive Pyrilutamide March 19th 2022!
First people receive Pyrilutamide on March 19th, 2022 for hair loss treatment. Users discuss obtaining the drug, its patent, and potential group buys.
community Overwhelming amount of anti-androgens
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of anti-androgens for hair loss, with a preference for topical treatments like RU58841 over oral options due to better scalp concentration and fewer side effects. Topical finasteride at 0.1% may provide some results, especially when combined with a topical androgen receptor antagonist like RU58841.
