    non-steroidal anti-androgen researched for treating androgenic alopecia

    RU58841 is a non-steroidal anti-androgen that is often researched for its potential to treat androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss). It works by binding to androgen receptors in the scalp, thereby preventing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from attaching to these receptors and causing hair follicle miniaturization.

      in Research/Science  8 upvotes 2 years ago
      Pyrilutamide is considered to work for hair loss but less effectively than expected, similar to RU58841, and may cause side effects like chest tightness and sexual issues. It's unclear if it's suitable for diffuse thinners, and one user cannot use minoxidil or finasteride due to side effects and personal circumstances.
