I’m almost 17 and Norwood 1.5 (brutal)

Kx826 has a stronger binding affinity than ru, but I remember there was a study where kx did not perform well compared to placebo. Ru58841 has less clinical data but a lot of anecdotes, and also people say it’s stronger than kx (which I don’t really understand)

Can someone clear this up for me and tell me what is actually stronger and what would be the best for me?

From what I know, Ru is stronger but has more potential systemic absorption side effects. Kx is not intended to go systemic.

But never used any of them personally. Was thinking of buying kx but dont know where to source

Kx is poop, just use finasteride or dutasteride, way more effective and cheaper, if you're still developing like op is, honestly just wait until you're done and start a dht blocker, you can use minoxidil until then.

I’m actively norwooding, not the best idea to stop worrying about it. I used ketoconazole shampoo for almost one and a half months, I think the thinning slowed down a bit but it’s still going on. I think im going to buy ru

Not sure the shampoo will do much if anything, ru might work, but like I said, the moment you're done with development start a dht blocker, dht past development is absolutely garbage. Good luck. :feelsmage:

Okay yea then I’m gonna just buy ru for now and get dutasteride when I’m 18 just in case I’m still developing. What about the sexual side effects, or are dut/fin always just fear mongered?

Like accutane, fear mongered to DEATH, sides are very rare and even when they do happen they usually go away with continued use. DHT blockers are one of the best drugs that you can take, don't listen to the fear mongering.
