      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  58 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation is about the double standard in the hair loss community regarding shedding when using different treatments.

      Kintor Pharmaceutical's Phase 2 results with the drug Pyrilutamide, a potential alternative to 5-ARI drugs like Finasteride and Dutasteride but without the side effects. It could be used in combination with other topical treatments such as Minoxidil. The safety of the drug has been demonstrated in 6 months of use, however there are still questions about long term efficacy and systemic absorption.
