The post discusses the potential of GT20029 in treating hair loss, questioning if it will replace finasteride or be used alongside existing treatments. A reply indicates that its role is still uncertain.
community Will PP405 be prohibitively expensive or will it be roughly the same as fin or min?
PP405 is expected to be more expensive than finasteride and minoxidil initially due to patent protection, but not as costly as life-saving medications like Ozempic. The price may decrease after the patent expires, but initially, it might be around $100 per month, making it potentially unaffordable for many.
community How a follicle next to it is so genetically different that it never miniaturized??
Genetic differences in hair follicles affect hair loss patterns. Treatments discussed include finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841.
community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
community Oral Min is much better than topical
Oral minoxidil is seen as more effective and convenient than topical minoxidil for hair regrowth, but it may cause heart-related risks. Users often combine it with finasteride or dutasteride, though some prefer topical treatments due to safety concerns.
