I use Ramatroban from iron Dragon once a day on my entire scalp probably 5 to 7 squirts because I have long hair. Obviously there are many other types of pge2 inhibitors, but I've read on here a few times that they may play a part in hair growth her some screwed up double sided reason so for us that are using these experimental drugs will it slow down or stop our hair growth?

PGE2 inhibitor? Isn't it the opposite way, that you should promote PGE2?
It seems to be a PGD2 antagonist, and that means it would work in many ways the same way as seti or finasteride.

Yes sorry that was my mistake. So PGD 2 antagonist can they slow or stop hair growth?

As for my progress, I started using ramatroban months ago but stopped and just the last 3 months or so I've been religious with it. I've only using it for maintenance I don't expect much regrowth... I do use rogaine foam twice a day with it. But I started using minoxidil alone before Rama. At first I thought it stopped the male pattern baldness itch completely, now I think it just really helps it, it does seem to make the scalp healthier too read as for how well it's doing for maintenance that's a hard question to answer this early and I'm also using minoxidil so that could help regrowth or could also cause Schettig and make things look worse.

It's Iron Dragon. They've probably been pissing in it for the last few months.
Could you explain please, are they an unreliable source?if they are how did you come to that conclusion? Did you have your products test, did someone you talked with test theirs etc?
No not personally, as I haven't tested anything myself, I've read some people say it's better then Kane and more reliable and of course they claim to be 100% reliable and integrity etc. Of course they can say whatever they want. I am not claiming they are a reliable source as of yet! But seems you're mocking them as well, maybe for good reason. But can you just explain what that reason is. Specifically actual evidence that their products are not what they claim to be? As for Mark up prices as long as they are the actual substances I don't mind paying a good price and it's really not that expensive 145$ CAD With shipping and taxes for a months worth of Ramatroban ( used on entire scalp) which is fair as long as it is a potentPGD 2 antagonist

Haven't ordered from there myself but seems to have mixed reviews on Trip Advisor. £11.90 for a buffet seems about the going rate. Make sure you get a HPLC report for the Szechuan chicken though, can never be too careful.
Why aren't you guys taking the question seriously. I think we all agree hair loss isn't a joke or we wouldn't be here. Since we are , We should work together to help each other.and the ****ty jokes aren't helping anyone find legitimate or illegitimate sources for experimental hair therapies

I really don't get it dude, why are you here? There are way more active fourms out there to **** with people? More people will see your shenanigans, there'll be more targets etc. Just perplexed you lowered your sights to do it here. But I digress needless to say, your input and information is next to useless on the topic,you have no experience with their products, probably little knowledge either way... So just useless (not to mention unoriginal) banter. Whatever...
Too Anyone that is actually using the fourm,I haven't had their products tested myself but the only real complaint I've come across is their mark up (which isn't that high). My rate of hair growth seems to be fine after starting ramatroban, in fact fact has picked up mind you I'm starting a supplement regimen also. One thing I know without a doubt is it has definitely helped the male pattern baldness itch. Which is a good indication it's working, to my question about the changing color I'm assuming it's just a different vehicle as it seems to be more affective at stopping the itch!! Took a few days off just to see and near the 36 hour mark the itch had come back quite substantially actually. Went away quickly with one application. Now this is still early but I do think it has also help with shedding i'm seeing almost no hairs on my hand when using shampoo and conditioner, I actually started using a boar bristle brush And I barely notice any Hair on it! Disclaimer my shed was never that substantial but I definitely notice a difference!
Now I just have to conclude if minoxidil is working for my Hair line.

How many guys are actually having success regrowing hair using the stuff in this section? I'm being serious. Certainly there should be plenty of evidence out there if any of this stuff actually works.
Quite a bit actually but mostly from RU which I believe was discontinued. these PGD 2 antagonist are still fairly new and working their way through the long arduous process of clinical trials. But these kind of products are more aimed at maintenance not regrowth!! Stopping the itch can be something worthwhile all in its own for some...
Isn't Iron Dragon a place that works out of their home garage in Newport Beach, Ca? I believe Iron Dragon posts as persons supposedly losing their hair and had success with their products.....this is the internet....anything goes?
