Hello,
I am very interested in trying Setipiprant. For those who don't know, here is some basic information on what Setipiprant is:
- Finasteride, Dutasteride, and RU58841 affect our DHT levels. This can cause erectile dysfunction and other unpleasant side effects.
- Setipiprant does not affect DHT, instead it affects PGD2. The hope is that Setipiprant may be effective without causing unpleasant side effects. (At least not dreaded erectile dysfunction).
- Setipiprant is owned by a company called Kythera. http://www.kythera.com/products/kyth-105-setipiprant/ Setipiprant is not technically available yet, so obtaining it does not appear to be particularly easy.
Questions:
1. Is it possible to obtain Setipiprant, other than from the now old group buy forum thread? It appears to be available here: http://www.keyorganics.net/bionet/setipiprant-mfcd23136043-c24h19fn2o3-1.html
2. Do we know what dosage one should use? (Either orally or topically)
I have read unsourced forum posts which suggest that there have been actual male pattern baldness studies done, which I hope list dosages as well as measured efficacy.
3. Where might one find these studies?
This is a quote I found on another forum, but because the author of this quote chose NOT to provide a source URL, this information should NOT be considered reliable in any way:
4. Do we have any reports from real users yet?
I have found one or two forum threads in which people have started logs, but they have not had activity for one or two months.
I am at an excellent point to start Setipiprant, and log the results photographically. I have not used any products other than Minoxidil within the past year. I have used Finasteride in the past, but usually only for a month here and there.

"This was an open-label, 2-period, 2-way crossover, randomized study in which 20 healthy women and men (1:1 ratio) received either 2 250-mg capsules or a 500-mg tablet of setipiprant. Subjects were between 18 and 45 years old, with a body mass index of 18.0 to 28.0 kg/m(2). Differences in pharmacokinetics of setipiprant formulations were explored overall and by sex."
