    substances inhibit male sex hormones like testosterone

    Antiandrogenic refers to substances or treatments that inhibit the effects of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. These substances can be used to treat conditions like androgenic alopecia (hair loss) and prostate cancer by blocking the action of these hormones, thereby reducing their influence on hair follicles and other tissues.

      community Keto 2% halted my insane shed immediately

      in Ketoconazole  56 upvotes 10 months ago
      Ketoconazole 2% shampoo stopped a user's severe hair shedding after just two uses, a result not achieved by finasteride or oral minoxidil. Some users suggest the shampoo's anti-androgenic properties may help with hair loss, while others think the shedding might have stopped naturally or due to the end of a shedding phase.
