5 / 67 resultscommunity You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance
Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
community Castor Oil - Yay or Nay?
The conversation discusses the potential benefits of castor oil for hair thickening, with one user noting it may increase prostaglandin E2 and decrease PGD2. The original poster plans to take 1-2ml orally daily.
community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.
DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
community Zyrtec (Cetirizine) antihistamine for hair growth compared to Minoxidil NIH study
The conversation discusses the potential of topical cetirizine (Zyrtec) for hair growth in comparison to minoxidil, noting cetirizine's ability to reduce prostaglandin D2, which inhibits hair growth. Users share mixed experiences with cetirizine for allergies and scalp health, and there's a mention of the risk of dementia with long-term antihistamine use.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
