Minoxidil is highly toxic to cats and dogs, even in small amounts. Users suggest switching to oral minoxidil or taking precautions to prevent pet exposure.
A 30-year-old male has been on finasteride/dutasteride for 3 years, with stable but still receding hairline, and blood tests showing high total testosterone but normal DHT and free testosterone levels. Despite challenges in gaining muscle, he maintains a good physique with a consistent lifting routine and recently improved results with creatine.
Dutasteride isn't effectively reducing DHT levels, prompting a switch back to finasteride. The user questions the reliability of their DHT test results due to hair loss concerns.
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
