Did you mean Nonsteroidal Antiandrogens?

Glossary Nonsteroidal Antiandrogens

medications that block male hormones without activating their receptors

Nonsteroidal Antiandrogens (NSAA) are medications that block the action of androgens (male hormones like testosterone) by binding to androgen receptors without activating them. They are commonly used in the treatment of conditions like prostate cancer and androgenic alopecia (hair loss) by preventing androgens from stimulating the growth of cancer cells or hair follicles.

community Has anyone find a way to stop/limit ru58841 to go systematic ?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 4 upvotes 1 year ago

RU58841 is a strong non-steroidal antiandrogen for hair loss but may cause cardiovascular issues in some users. Alternatives like Pyrilutamide and Breezula are suggested due to better safety profiles and lower systemic risks.

community Consenus on Kx-826/pyrilutamide vs ru58841

11 upvotes 1 week ago

KX-826 is considered effective for hair maintenance, with better safety research than RU58841, but lacks positive anecdotes. RU58841 is seen as potentially stronger, but concerns exist about systemic effects; combining anti-androgens with 5AR inhibitors is suggested for better results.
