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.
