community No, Finasteride as a treatment for MPB was not an "accident"
Finasteride was intentionally developed to treat BPH and later approved for male pattern baldness (MPB) due to its 5AR inhibition effects. The delay in MPB approval was due to concerns about off-label use for female hirsutism and the prioritization of treating a more debilitating condition.
community Topical tretinoin increases minoxidil absorption by 3x. Thoughts?
Topical tretinoin can increase the absorption of minoxidil by three times, which may enhance its effectiveness for hair loss treatment. Tretinoin causes increased skin turnover, making the skin more permeable and potentially improving minoxidil's efficacy.
