5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How. can I counteract the rapid hair loss caused by steroids?
The conversation is about a person experiencing hair loss from steroid use, considering treatments like RU58841, dutasteride, and Nizoral, while avoiding finasteride and Minoxidil due to concerns about hormones and hypertension. The consensus suggests using dutasteride or finasteride, as Nizoral alone is not effective.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community The Fear of Oral Minoxidil is Overblown
Low-dose oral minoxidil is a safe and effective hair loss treatment with fewer side effects than previously feared. Users often prefer it over topical minoxidil for better results, though some experience side effects like increased body hair and cardiovascular issues.
community Minoxidil hairs not growing to full length
New hair growth from minoxidil and finasteride is not reaching full length, possibly due to slow growth cycles. Users discuss dosing strategies for oral minoxidil to improve efficacy and minimize side effects, with advice against consuming topical minoxidil orally.
