      community Guide: How to EASILY get prescription oral minoxidil

      in Minoxidil  22 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation provides a six-step guide on how to get a prescription for oral minoxidil (OM) for hair loss by finding a supportive dermatologist, even if they are not local, and preparing a case for its use during a virtual consultation. The guide emphasizes the importance of research, insurance considerations, and the potential for initial hair shedding with OM treatment.

      community Why is everyone not directly advised Dutasteride?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  165 upvotes 1 month ago
      Dutasteride is less commonly prescribed for hair loss because it is not FDA-approved for this purpose, unlike finasteride, which is more accessible and preferred due to fewer side effects. Dutasteride may be more effective in reducing DHT but has a longer half-life and potentially more significant side effects.
