RU58841 Powder | 2 Grams
RU58841 Powder | 2 Grams is a non-steroidal anti-androgen commonly used to combat androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Unlike systemic anti-androgens like finasteride, RU58841 works topically, targeting androgen receptors in the scalp to prevent DHT (dihydrotestosterone) from miniaturizing hair follicles without significantly affecting hormone levels systemically.
⚡ How RU58841 Works:
- Androgen Receptor Blocker: RU58841 binds to androgen receptors in the scalp, preventing DHT from attaching and causing hair follicle shrinkage.
- Topical Action: Since it’s applied directly to the scalp, it minimizes systemic absorption, reducing risks of hormonal side effects compared to oral DHT blockers.
📈 Potential Benefits:
- Prevents Hair Loss: Slows or halts progression of androgenic alopecia.
- Promotes Regrowth: Some users report hair thickening and regrowth in thinning areas.
- Minimal Systemic Side Effects: Since it doesn’t significantly lower DHT levels in the bloodstream.
🚩 Side Effects & Risks:
Though generally well-tolerated, RU58841 isn’t FDA-approved, and long-term safety data is limited.
- Local Side Effects:
- Scalp Irritation (itching, redness, dryness)
- Flaking or Dermatitis with prolonged use
- Potential Systemic Effects (Rare):
- Low Libido, Fatigue, Mood Changes if absorbed systemically (especially with high doses or broken skin)
- Hormonal Imbalance: Rare but possible if overused
- Unknown Long-Term Risks:
- Lack of large-scale clinical trials raises concerns about unknown effects, especially with years of use.
📊 Dosage & Application (Informational Purposes):
- Concentration: Typically used at 5% solution (50 mg/mL)
- Application Dose: 1 mL per day (50 mg) to affected scalp areas
- Solvents: RU58841 powder must be dissolved in ethanol, propylene glycol, or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for proper absorption.
With 2 grams (2000 mg) of powder, you can create approximately 40 mL of a 5% solution.
🧪 Mixing Instructions:
- Weigh RU58841 Powder: 2 grams
- Add Solvent: Mix with 40 mL of ethanol/propylene glycol mix (usually a 70:30 ratio)
- Stir Until Dissolved: Use a magnetic stirrer or shake vigorously
- Store: Keep in a dark, cool place, preferably in an amber bottle to prevent degradation
✅ Safety Tips:
- Patch Test First: Apply a small amount to check for allergic reactions
- Apply to Clean, Dry Scalp: Enhances absorption and reduces irritation
- Avoid Broken Skin: To minimize systemic absorption
- Wash Hands After Use: Prevents accidental transfer to other body parts
❌ Who Should Avoid RU58841?
- Pregnant or Breastfeeding Individuals: Potential hormonal effects
