learn Castor oil

Castor oil: Can I mix it with minoxidil or finasteride, or will they fight each other? No study has tested castor oil together with minoxidil or finasteride. Oral finasteride works systemically and is not expected to be affected, but a thick oil left on the scalp could change how much minoxidil is absorbed, so the common advice is to keep the two applications hours apart and to ask a doctor or pharmacist first.

learn Tretinoin

Vitamin A retinoid cream, prescribed for acne

learn Neem Oil

Oil from the neem tree, used in traditional remedies

learn Saw Palmetto

Palm-berry extract taken as a supplement

learn Metformin

Is metformin used topically for hair loss, or only as an oral tablet? Approved metformin products are oral tablets only; there is no approved topical metformin for hair loss. Published human reports of topical use are a handful of uncontrolled, pharmacy-compounded case reports in scarring alopecia, and the most-cited clinical series actually used the oral drug.

learn Sulforaphane

Is sulforaphane used in oral supplements or topical hair treatments? Sulforaphane is primarily used in oral supplements, not topical hair treatments.

learn Pyrilutamide

Is pyrilutamide a safer alternative to oral antiandrogens like finasteride? Pyrilutamide (KX-826) is an unapproved, investigational topical antiandrogen whose safety data come from short-term sponsor announcements, not peer-reviewed studies. No study has compared it with finasteride, so there is no evidence that it is safer.

learn Spironolactone

How does spironolactone help reduce hair loss when used in topical or oral treatments? Spironolactone is thought to slow androgen-driven follicle miniaturisation by blocking androgen receptors; the trials are small, mostly in women and mostly alongside minoxidil. It is a prescription drug and its use for hair loss is off-label.
