5 / 25 resultscommunity Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
community Creatine Doesn’t Cause Hair Loss: Stop the BS
Creatine does not cause hair loss, despite many users reporting personal experiences of hair shedding. Scientific evidence shows no link between creatine and increased hair loss or hormone changes.
community Why do people who do hard drugs have great hair?
People with great hair despite drug use likely have good genes. Some believe opioids might slow hair loss by lowering testosterone and DHT levels.
community I’m considering stopping finasteride
The user is considering stopping finasteride due to depression, anxiety, and difficulty building muscle, despite its effectiveness in stopping hair loss. Suggestions include reducing the dose, switching to topical solutions, or consulting a doctor for alternatives like dutasteride or RU58841.
