5 / 893 resultsresearch Hydroxychloroquine modulates the progression of experimentally induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats via targeting EGFR/ERK/STAT3 and AR/FOXO1/TRAIL pathways: computational and in vivo studies
In this study on testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats, hydroxychloroquine significantly reduced prostate-related markers and enhanced therapeutic effects when combined with finasteride, suggesting potential as a new treatment approach.
research 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors in Prostate Cancer: From Clinical Trials to Clinical Practice
This study developed solid lipid nanoparticles for delivering a shRNA-encoding plasmid that effectively reduced 5α-reductase enzyme levels in vitro without significant cytotoxicity, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.
research 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors and Combination Therapy
This study found that combining 5-alpha reductase inhibitors with alpha-blockers provided the best symptomatic relief and reduced the risk of clinical progression for BPH, while PDE5 inhibitors could offset sexual side effects.
research The Relationship Between Metformin and Serum Prostate‐Specific Antigen Levels
This study found that metformin is inversely associated with serum PSA levels in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting further research is needed on its potential impact on prostate cancer progression.

Finasteride and dutasteride are essential for stopping hair loss, while natural remedies are ineffective. Minoxidil can be added if needed, but blocking DHT is crucial.
community PSA Topical Minoxidil is Deadly to Cats
Minoxidil is extremely toxic to cats, even from residue on surfaces, and can be deadly if they come into contact with it. Switching to oral minoxidil is suggested as a safer alternative for pet owners.
community PSA: Most men who stay on Fin will see the sexual side effects go away. Stop the fear mongering
Finasteride can cause sexual side effects in less than 2% of men, but these often disappear over time, even if the treatment continues. Some users report persistent side effects, while others experience no issues or only temporary ones.
community PSA: Not all Finasteride generics are created equal, effectiveness and severity of side-effects can vary by manufacturer.
Switching generic finasteride manufacturers can reduce side effects while maintaining effectiveness. Different fillers in generics may affect bioavailability and cause varying side effects.
community A PSA for everyone in here dealing with shedding
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride require patience, as they can take months or years to show results, with initial shedding being common. Consistency is key, and unnecessary supplements should be avoided to prevent stress and impatience from worsening the situation.
