      in Research/Science  43 upvotes 9 months ago
      Minoxidil is not an anti-androgen; it is a growth stimulator and does not lower DHT like finasteride or dutasteride. Minoxidil can cause side effects like facial swelling and anxiety due to its vasodilator properties.

      L-Arginine and other vasodilators are discussed for hair health, with L-Arginine being less effective than topical treatments like Minoxidil. Topical sildenafil or Cialis are suggested as potentially effective treatments for hair regrowth.
