Not sure if posted before, but Rossy also used Ceti before this study and it enhanced the hair growth in children:

I have to use allergy medication bc if my allergies and also my itchy scalp. Do u think oral cetirizine helps in any way?

No one knows probably, but many other anti-histamines inhibit Cox and thus reduce PGE2. So Ceti where we have no study implying it is bad for hair is probably the safest choice orally if it works for your allergy.
are you using it yourself or have you ever ?

That is not how antihistamines works. If inhibit cox, they only will inhibit the good prostaglandines for the hair and that is why AINES don't work to treat hair loss.
Cetirizines decrease PDG2 but increase PGE2 ( good for hair ) . This paper, for example , show that minoxidil increase PGE2 :

Wtf did you do to my text?
First of all, one f*****g in-vitro study doesnt proof jackshit. So far it didnt dmg hair in A. Rossy his studies. So thats good.
Secondly, yes some anti-histamines did show to inhibit Cox/PGE2, see desloratadine as example. Obviously the main target of anti-histamines is blocking allergic reactions based on histamine but that doesnt mean it wont have other mechanisms.
have you ever used it ?

The oral drop can be found in many countries, just be sure is nto the one for kids ( that is 0.1 % instead of 1 % ) . And it have almost the same vehicles that any topical lotion ( plus some sweaters that will not change anything )
it can be due to minoxidil also keep it in mind, but still great !

Would be great. Are you taking pics?
Hey @omega could I ask how your applying the cet?? Are you making your own solution? And if so could I ask how you are making it? Thank you
I’ve been using minoxidil for 8 years with nothing to show, about a month after adding ceti there’s no more shedding. No hair whatsoever in my brush! This is a big piece of the puzzle!

B option - and read tips (used without minoxidil).. I use after the shower.. and after the dermarolling 0.5mm/2 days - 1.5mm/week
I use the liquid gel caps 10mg , squeeze the gel onto head then 1mil of minoxidil and rub in.
The real reason I know this is working, I’m also on 450-500mg of boldenone undecylenate to help with surgery I just had on my shoulder
I’ve used this a few times in the past and every time massive sheds, this time I’d be lucky to get 1-2 hairs out by brushing.

i have been testing 10mg per ml of kids oral drops on one temple for 1 month and i seem to tell a difference in growth on that side so just started applying on my whole head this morning.. no sides before but today since i do a larger area... i did notice a funny taste in the back of my mouth and eyes and mouth seem drier.
have i used too much ? is their any risks of long term histamine topical ? i.e is twice a day safe ?
or should i change to the weaker 5mg per 5 ml solution for less side effect ?

Can anyone recommend where to be getting Cetirizine here in the UK ? I've come across the 5mg/5ml solution but cant find the 1% solution anywhere ? Obviously you can buy the 10mg tablets as well but would imagine they have a ton of filler in them as well so not ideal for making a solution with ?
