learn Cyproterone

Do I need a prescription to take cyproterone? Cyproterone acetate is a prescription-only medicine in every country that licenses it, and it has no FDA approval in the United States — regulators require a prescriber because the drug needs hormonal and liver monitoring and carries a dose-related meningioma risk flagged by the EMA in 2020.

learn Follistatin

How does follistatin compare to finasteride or dutasteride for treating androgenic alopecia? Finasteride and dutasteride are prescription drugs with large controlled trials showing they lower DHT and slow androgenic hair loss, at the cost of documented hormonal side effects; follistatin targets a different, regenerative pathway but has only one small phase 1 human trial behind it, so it is experimental with unknown safety rather than a comparable alternative.

learn Valproic acid

What should users understand about the distinction between medical research and consumer hair products involving valproic acid? Valproic acid is a prescription drug, not a cosmetic ingredient for hair loss.

learn Finasteride

Does stopping finasteride mean losing all progress? Here's what really happens. Studies and the drug label report that finasteride's benefit lasts only while it is taken: after stopping, scalp DHT returns to baseline and hair loss resumes over roughly 6 to 12 months. Stopping a prescription drug is a decision to make with the prescriber.

learn Tofacitinib

What is tofacitinib, and why is it discussed in relation to autoimmune-related hair loss such as alopecia areata? Tofacitinib is a prescription JAK inhibitor approved for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis — not for alopecia areata. It is discussed for hair loss because a 2014 case report and a 2016 open-label trial reported regrowth in severe alopecia areata, but that use is off-label, the regrowth relapsed after stopping, and the drug carries an FDA boxed warning.
