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 Update 1.5 years on finasteride. My experience so far.
The user experienced initial hair regrowth using finasteride, minoxidil, and a dermaroller but faced setbacks after a treatment break and dry scalp issues. They are considering switching treatments and have added ketoconazole shampoo and reservatol plus to their regimen.
community Science backed answer only from what you have learnt .
Alcohol-based minoxidil absorbs better but can cause irritation; non-alcohol-based is gentler. Topical dutasteride shows promise but needs more research; low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/day) is effective with fewer side effects. Ingredients like Procapil, Redensyl, caffeine, and Anagain in shampoos have limited evidence; ketoconazole shampoo can help when used 2-3 times a week with other treatments.
