      community Confused on oral vs topical DHT Blockers

       4 upvotes 4 months ago
      Oral DHT blockers like finasteride are preferred for their ease of use, effectiveness, and long-term safety data, while topical treatments like RU58841 lack extensive safety data and can be more cumbersome to apply. Oral treatments are generally considered more effective and convenient despite potential side effects.

Fluridil is a topical androgen-receptor blocker applied to the scalp, while finasteride is an oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT throughout the body.
