    Antiandrogen Therapy, also known as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), is a treatment that reduces the levels or blocks the effects of androgens (male hormones like testosterone) in the body.

      community Keto 2% halted my insane shed immediately

      in Ketoconazole  56 upvotes 11 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.
