community Why is scalp DHT suppression lower than systemic?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 11 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively in hair follicles than finasteride, but some individuals still experience hair loss despite treatment. Combining oral and topical finasteride may improve results, and some users experiment with topical dutasteride despite uncertainties about its absorption.

community Bloodwork on 0.5mg dutasteride

4 upvotes 1 week ago

The conversation discusses using 0.5mg dutasteride for hair loss and the decision to switch back to finasteride pills due to insufficient suppression. It highlights the importance of drug formulation and potential issues with absorption or degradation.

community Topical Dutasteride. Does it work?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 13 upvotes 2 years ago

Topical dutasteride may be effective for hair loss by staying in the scalp and minimizing bloodstream absorption, potentially improving hair results and reducing side effects. The user seeks advice on its effectiveness.

community Are we underestimating systemic absorption with homemade/generic Topical Fin? (HPCH vs. PG/Ethanol formulations)

5 upvotes 7 months ago

Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.

learn Bicalutamide

What results can you expect from using bicalutamide on your scalp? There is no published human study of bicalutamide applied to the scalp for hair loss, no licensed topical product and no established dose, so no result can be predicted from it. The evidence that exists is for the oral tablet in women, which is a prescription drug requiring liver monitoring and contraindicated in pregnancy.

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.
Are there really risks with topical finasteride? Reports on topical finasteride describe scalp irritation and dermatitis as the effects specific to it, and blood levels lower than the oral drug; whether systemic side effects are genuinely rarer has not been measured in a trial powered to answer it. Both forms are prescription-only and contraindicated around pregnancy.

learn Verteporfin

Is Verteporfin used as a topical treatment, injection, or oral medication for hair loss? Verteporfin is an intravenous drug approved only for an eye condition; it is not approved for hair loss in any form. In the few published hair reports it was injected into the scalp alongside surgical wounding — unverified case reports of one and two patients, not trial evidence.
