    Default Topical Cetrizine for hair loss

    hii guys, i am starting a new topical Cetrizine regime for my hair loss
    As i am a student RU and OC is way out of my budget.


    My 30 ml cet mix with sterile water, Directly applying the sol using minoxidil 1ml dropper, i am not separating any fillers using coffee paper
    as i am afraid the efficiency will be reduced if we take out too much
    ingredient from the mix. Will apply 10 days and post results.
    I am also taking propecia 0.5mg two times a week.
    Will quit propecia if this works.

    How long have you been on propecia? How will you determine if it is the cetrizine working or the propecia>

    Good luck man. Hopefully you will be able to see a reduction in the amount of hair coming out. We are all waiting to hear how it works out for you

    i have been on propecia 1mg twice a week since last 12 months, but due to bad sides like libido and brain fog
    i decided to take 0.5 mg twice week, i noticed that my scalp inflammation has increased now may be
    due to low dosage, i started applying topical cetrizine since last 2 days, will wait for 1 month to see
    if there is any decrease in itching or hair loss,or else i will increase my propecia dosage.
    Will update regularly.

    How exactly does cetrizine work? I have never heard of it. A brief explanation would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't really know the science behind it but it acts as a pdg2 inhibitor I think. Basically it works the same way OC does, however It has side effects where as OC. I've seen one guy report a complete halt to hair loss using it and irradication of the itch, but it dried his throat out to the point he couldn't cope. OC apparently doesn't go systematic like that

    Oral ingestion of cetrizine will cause more side effects, whereas i
    think topically side effects are very rare.

    and moderate headache.
