research Mitoxantrone
Mitoxantrone is effective for treating acute leukemia, especially in older patients, with a lower risk of heart damage.
research Effect of Finasteride Particle Size Reduction on Its Pharmacokinetic, Tissue Distribution, and Cellular Permeation
Smaller finasteride particles increase effectiveness in treating hair loss.
research Studies on the Disposition of Finasteride: Absorption, Distribution, and Excretion of (14C)finasteride After Single Oral or Intravenous Administration in Rats
Finasteride has different absorption and metabolism in male and female rats, with higher concentrations in certain organs and mostly excreted through feces.
research Recent Studies on the Delivery of Hydrophilic Drugs in Nanoparticulate Systems
Nanoparticulate systems improve drug delivery by controlling release, protecting drugs, changing absorption and distribution, and concentrating drugs in targeted areas.
research The Role of Dutasteride in the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Obstruction and Related Conditions
Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic obstruction, improves urinary flow, reduces prostate size, and may prevent prostate cancer, but can cause sexual side effects.

5 / 665 resultscommunity Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community Why don't people start with low-dose of dutasteride?
The conversation discusses the use of dutasteride and finasteride for hair loss, with a focus on starting with low doses of dutasteride to match the DHT suppression of finasteride. It highlights the longer half-life and potential side effects of dutasteride, as well as the preference for finasteride due to its availability and research backing.
community Dutasteride isn’t working confirmed by test.
Dutasteride isn't effectively reducing DHT levels, prompting a switch back to finasteride. The user questions the reliability of their DHT test results due to hair loss concerns.
community Fin/Dut and Metabolism Speeds…
A user speculates that a fast metabolism might affect the effectiveness of dutasteride for hair loss. Another user argues that drug response is unrelated to metabolism speed.
community How come dutasteride doesn't lower allopregnanolone, but finasteride does?
Finasteride significantly lowers allopregnanolone levels, while dutasteride's effect is less clear and may vary. Some users speculate that dutasteride might be healthier for the brain due to its different inhibition pathways.
