New Study: Topical Cetirizine For Androgenetic Alopecia Shows Promise

[jgray201]

Was that with shipping included?

Unfortunately not

I know it's not the same thing at all, but I've been taking one Zyrtec (cetirizine) daily for at least 12 years for allergy purposes and it hasn't done anything for my hair loss.

Are you saying there is a connection between alergies and hair loss ?

So does this stuff work or not?

Minoxydil do wonders for some and do almost nothing for others. It's the same for every drugs.
If someone says a drug does not work maybe you won't try.. Too bad because maybe it could be effective for you.
The only thing you can do is trying yourself and you will have the final answer .as long as it's safe

Ive been using topical cet 2% for almost 3 months now and can confirm that it works. I have been maintaining good regrowth for a long time now with an aggressive regimen. I was using just under a 1% solution of OC, which definitely helped with maintenance. However since dropping that for 2% cet a lot of the last group of wispy hairs have started to thicken and go terminal. Density has improved slightly at the hair line too. I did have quite a significant shed too though. But this often happens to me when making an adjustment to my regimen.

I make a 2 percent solution in 12ml of neogenic. This usually lasts me 4 to 5 days.

So if i can only get pills should i disolve them in alchohol?

 

[livinginfear93]

Can a bro teach me how to make this topical?

Not alcohol, it interact with alcahol, ethanol. You should use Water and may be Propilen Glycol , even glycerine.

 

[jamesbooker1975]

How do yoy know it interacts with ethanol/alcohol?

[Dr. Zoom]

can one mix zyrtec with minoxidil?
if so how and how many pills to a 60ml bottle of minoxidil
thx

 

[jgray201]

I am less worried about the study/info that shows Cet degrades in ethanol. In the Cet study they used a vehicle with ethanol in. Plus i make batches every few days. I use neogenic vehicle. Mix 240mg of cet in 12ml of neogenic. This last about 4 days

But they say that alcohol / ethanol is bad icm with Cet ?

 

[jgray201]

I know. But theres no indication of how long the degradation takes. Plus, in the study that showed cetirizine was effective for hair loss they used a vehicle with ethanol in it.

Late to the party, haven't read all pages.

Ethanol is bad for the balding area, induces inflammation(TLR4 agonist), drys skin and weakens barrier function->Microbiome infiltration and more inflammation

Solely on that reason I would stay away from Ethanol.

I'm in China and here they sell Cetirizine as oral liquid drops, haven't checked if it's in ethanol though, from you're discussion and it being for kids i doubt it..

Do you have any before/after pictures? I'd like to see the effects

I’ve been using it for a week or so. Helps reduce my shedding thus far.
