P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.
community COMPLETE OVERVIEW of the Treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men
Male androgenetic alopecia is commonly treated with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, both requiring continuous use. Other options include hair restoration surgery, dutasteride, light therapy, and camouflaging agents.
community Meta analysis of minoxidil only vs 5AR inhibitors
Oral dutasteride is the most effective for hair regrowth, followed by oral finasteride and minoxidil. Topical finasteride combined with minoxidil is recommended for those avoiding systemic DHT reduction.
community Small hairs emerging over the past month.
A user reported using oral Minoxidil 3mg, oral Finasteride 1mg, topical Minoxidil, dermarolling twice a week, and taking biotin and vitamin D daily for 10 weeks. They noticed small hairs growing at the hairline after 6 weeks.
community Small progress after 1 year 35m
A man saw improvement in hair loss after a year using 1mg finasteride daily and minoxidil twice daily, but reduced finasteride due to side effects. He switched to 0.5mg dutasteride daily, topical finasteride twice daily, microneedling weekly, and 2.5mg oral minoxidil, but may stop minoxidil due to chest pains.
