This review highlights recent insights into using antiandrogens as preventive and therapeutic measures against COVID-19, emphasizing their role in blocking viral infection by modulating androgen-mediated host protease TMPRSS2 and cell entry protein ACE2, with varying success in clinical trials.
research Herbs as Antiandrogenic Agents
This literature review suggests that herbal extracts show promise as antiandrogenic agents for androgen-related conditions, potentially offering a natural alternative with fewer side effects than synthetic medications.
research Clascoterone: a new topical antiandrogen agent.
This source reports that clascoterone cream, a topical androgen receptor inhibitor, has shown effectiveness in treating facial acne vulgaris in patients 12 and older, with clinical trials indicating a favorable safety profile compared to systemic treatments, and potential for broader dermatological applications.
research The Effect of Perinatal Blockade of Androgen Receptors on the Expression of Hypothalamic Estrogen Receptor‐a and Sexual Motivation in Male Rats
This study found that blocking androgen receptors in male rats during the perinatal period led to permanently increased estrogen and ER-a expression in the hypothalamus, affecting sexual preference in adulthood.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Could a reversed SARM designed for the scalp serve as a replacement for oral Dut and Fin?
The conversation discusses the potential of developing a selective oral SARM to target androgen activity in the scalp and skin, as an alternative to oral Dutasteride and Finasteride, which have systemic side effects. It also mentions Clascoterone and RU58841 as topical treatments for hair loss.
community Most Promising Future Hair Loss Treatments In 2026
Promising hair loss treatments in 2026 include GT20029, a topical androgen receptor degrader, and VDPHL01, an extended-release oral minoxidil, both offering safer alternatives with fewer side effects. Other treatments like sublingual minoxidil, OND-1, JW0061, TDM-105795, and AMP-303 are also being explored.
community Chat is this real? Compound called clascoterone
Clascoterone shows promising results for hair regrowth in men with androgenetic alopecia, with potential FDA approval by 2026. It acts as a topical androgen receptor blocker, offering a new treatment option with minimal side effects compared to existing treatments like finasteride.
community A Study I came along by mistake researching (Dutasteride +Pumpkin seed oil ) for every other day use.
Alternating Dutasteride with pumpkin seed oil may protect the spleen from damage caused by Dutasteride. Pumpkin seed oil's antioxidants help counteract oxidative stress and immune suppression.
community Does ketokonazole on its own improve androgenetic alopecia?
Ketoconazole can slightly improve hair density and is best used as an adjunct to treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. It helps with scalp health but won't stop androgenetic alopecia on its own.

6 / 801 results- Can bicalutamide stop DHT from shrinking your hair follicles? Bicalutamide blocks androgens at the receptor rather than lowering DHT, and some dermatologists prescribe it off-label for women with pattern hair loss. The published evidence is retrospective case series and one small pilot study, with no randomized trial; it is a prescription drug that requires liver monitoring and is contraindicated in pregnancy.
- Why are some women using bicalutamide to fight hormonal hair loss? Bicalutamide blocks androgens, helping women combat hormonal hair loss effectively.
- How does spironolactone help reduce hair loss when used in topical or oral treatments? Studies report that spironolactone slows androgen-driven follicle miniaturisation by blocking androgen receptors, with most evidence in women and mostly alongside minoxidil; it is a prescription drug and its use for hair loss is off-label.
