    drug delivery system releasing medication slowly over time

    Sustained Release (SR), also known as Extended Release (ER) or Controlled Release (CR), refers to a drug delivery system designed to release a medication slowly over time. This allows for a more consistent therapeutic effect, reduces the frequency of dosing, and can improve patient compliance by maintaining steadier drug levels in the bloodstream.

      community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

      in Research/Science  255 upvotes 1 month ago
      Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.

      community Are permanent hair gains even possible?

      in Chat  14 upvotes 1 month ago
      Hair regrowth from treatments like minoxidil, RU58841, and finasteride is not permanent; stopping these treatments typically results in hair loss resuming. Beard hair can become permanent with minoxidil use, unlike scalp hair, which requires ongoing treatment to maintain gains.
