Regular Member 12345 Posted April 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 15, 2023 ive tried pantosin. it shut me off sexually after 3 applications, that lasted about 2 weeks. i think its an option for those who don't have sides from hair loss drugs, maybe not for those who had sides. it was def affecting my hormone levels, so I def don't think id consider it "Weak" didn't try eucapil based off my pantosin experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Follicle1984 Posted April 17, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 17, 2023 I've tried fluridil, been through many boxes. I would agree I think it's not overly strong and likely to ne ineffective for many as a monotherapy at 2ml/day. I'm currently using it again with alfatradiol until something better comes along through official channels as I can't tolerate fin sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky in that I can tolerate fin but am noticing that I am still (slowly) losing ground after 3 years on it. I'm planning on starting fluridil soon as well as topical dutasteride to mop up the remaining androgens on the scalp that oral fin does not target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ssimpson7511 Posted September 20, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2023 Is there any scientific research that states Fin loses its effectiveness? I hear people saying they are losing ground on fin after a certain amount of time but I have never seen any data that shows this is the case.

I hear people saying they are losing ground on fin after a certain amount of time but I have never seen any data that shows this is the case. I'm not saying that finasteride necessarily loses its effectiveness, what I am saying is that finasteride is simply not 100% effective at targeting all DHT that reaches the scalp. As the graph below makes clear, finasteride only targets roughly 30% of scalp DHT. For some people, their scalp sensitivity to DHT is such that the 30% reduction in scalp DHT caused by finasteride will be enough to do the job, and they will either regain slightly or maintain so long as they stay on finasteride. For others such as myself, finasteride will still work, and in my case has certainly slowed the rate of loss, but my scalp sensitivity to DHT is such that the 70% of scalp DHT not targeted by finasteride is still causing me to lose ground. Hence looking to other treatments to supplement finasteride. Edited September 24, 2023 by Steady45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 25, 2023 Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2023 Fluridil has been around, not very effective. I think pyrilutamide is a better option.

I think pyrilutamide is a better option. That was my stance until pyrilutamide gave me really nasty cardiac sides (albeit grey market pyrilutamide from hairlisciously). As I stated above, obtaining stronger fluridil in the 6%-8% range sounds far more attractive to me as there is at least a clear explanation as to how fluridil does not go systemic, unlike pyrilutamide, RU, etc. etc. It may not perform great as monotherapy, but if it's function is to mop up the remaining androgens on the scalp that oral fin/dut do not target, whilst giving confidence that it will not go systemic, then it seems pretty useful to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
