community Everyone is ignoring that plasma finasteride levels are 100x lower with topical compared to oral.

in Research/Science 140 upvotes 2 years ago

Topical finasteride results in plasma levels 100 times lower than oral finasteride, potentially reducing systemic side effects. Users report similar efficacy with fewer side effects, suggesting a preference for topical application.

community Has any data on systemic absorption of pyrilutamide been published?

1 upvotes 4 months ago

Pyrilutamide shows minimal systemic absorption with low plasma levels and no accumulation, suggesting it's unlikely to cause systemic side effects. However, full results are not yet published in scientific journals.

community There’s nothing better on the horizon [RANT]

22 upvotes 1 month ago

There is skepticism about new hair loss treatments, with the belief that current options like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are the best available. Concerns are raised about the systemic side effects of androgen-related treatments, even those marketed as topical, and doubts about the effectiveness of emerging treatments like clascoterone.

community Most Promising Future Hair Loss Treatments In 2026

83 upvotes 1 week ago

Promising hair loss treatments in 2026 include GT20029, a topical androgen receptor degrader, and VDPHL01, an extended-release oral minoxidil, both offering safer alternatives with fewer side effects. Other treatments like sublingual minoxidil, OND-1, JW0061, TDM-105795, and AMP-303 are also being explored.

community 5 alpha reductase type 1 is in brain tissue producing the main endogenous gabaergic allopregnanolone, not 2. How can finasteride as a 5ar2 lower that?

27 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride are discussed for hair loss, with concerns about their effects on neurosteroids and potential side effects like depression. Alternatives like topical estrogen and lifestyle changes are considered, with varying opinions on mental health and hair regrowth.
