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 My 11 weeks of finasteride and minoxidil has me seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
A 22-year-old user experienced positive hair regrowth after 11 weeks using a spray containing 0.3% finasteride, 7% minoxidil, 2.2% ketoconazole, and 0.2% biotin. They reported initial side effects like scalp tingling and brief testicular pain, which subsided, and are considering switching to finasteride pills and a different minoxidil brand for cost reasons.
community The Fear of Oral Minoxidil is Overblown
