Need one for hair loss ASAP.

  Already exists (finasteride), only problem is that it castrates you chemicallym
  • pstuart 2mo ago
    Yep. Not everybody but enough to warrant vigilant monitoring and titration.

    For everyone struggling with hair loss but concerned about side effects of Fin. Look into topical fin. It produces higher concentrations of the medication in the scalp and lower systemic concentration. Not perfect, but better.
  • skepticATX 2mo ago
    About 2% of finasteride users experience these side effects, and they are reversible after discontinuation.
    • pton_xd 2mo ago
      Apparently some users report persistent side effects even years after stopping the medication (post-finasteride syndrome).

        yep that would be me

          Are you familiar with Dr. Powers, there's hope
          • xX_Hacker_Xx 2mo ago
            not familiar tbh, i will check it out sometime. thanks

        How many of them can be accounted for by the natural rate of sexual dysfunction? I've been taking it without significant side effects for ~15 years, so I'm not worried, although at this point it's losing its main effect as well.

  Indeed. My plans for a youthful Mohawk are being stymied by the lack of AI promised medical breakthroughs. Wheres my follicles dammit?

  Absci has a good asset coming out pretty soon that you could try to get on the trial.
  • codemax98 2mo ago
    Absci is bullshit

  there is a AI designed drug for hair loss that i know of. its slow-release oral minoxidil formulation called MINX. AI helped with the formulation [1]. its in in similar category as VDPHL01. Hundreds of millions if not a billion dollars has been invested into Veradermics, and their main product is VDPHL01 (also an extended-release oral formulation).

    I’m on 0.5 to 1mg oral minoxidil daily for a few years now and it’s working great. Blood pressure benefits too.
    • rubicon33 2mo ago
      Any other side effects? I’ve never even heard of this.
      • mjmj 2mo ago
        I’ve taken low dose oral min for a few years and it’s systemic, meaning it’ll make all your hair grow. I now have body hair where before it was never noticeable. “I’m hairy like monkey” as my kids say.
        • kridsdale1 1mo ago
          Can confirm. My torso and upper arms be sprouting like Robin Williams. Wasn’t like this before. Thankfully that’s easy to buzz off, and worth it to keep my head.

      > Blood pressure benefits too. Speak for yourself, if mine goes any lower I’m going to pass out

  A good set of clippers.
