research Cortexolone 17a-propionate: A new antiandrogen acting on hair dermal papilla cells for the treatment of androgenic alopecia
Cortexolone 17a-propionate may be an effective new treatment for hair loss.
research Antihormonal properties of some new A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids of the androstane series
The researchers reported that compounds 11 to 13 derived from Westphalen-type steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity in vivo, though their effects could not be attributed to 5α-reductase inhibition or androgen receptor binding.
research Spearmint herbal tea has significant anti‐androgen effects in polycystic ovarian syndrome. a randomized controlled trial
In this study, spearmint tea significantly reduced testosterone levels and improved self-reported hirsutism in women with PCOS, but did not change objective hair growth scores over the short trial period.
research Profile of the progesterone derivative chlormadinone acetate — Pharmocodynamic properties and therapeutic applications
This review summarizes the use of chlormadinone acetate for hormone replacement therapy and contraception, highlighting its anti-androgenic effects, contraceptive efficacy, and clinical tolerability, without offering new clinical results.

5 / 299 resultscommunity Minoxidil is NOT an Anti-androgen. No.
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.
community Does RU58841 potentially cause cancer?
RU58841 may pose cancer risks due to its antiandrogen properties and lack of long-term safety data. Using it is considered a high-risk experiment with unknown potential for harm.
community Can Zinc Affect Finasteride Efficacy?
A 20-year-old male is concerned that zinc might reduce the effectiveness of finasteride for hair loss, as zinc is known to increase DHT levels. Users suggest that zinc, at certain doses, has anti-androgenic properties and is unlikely to negatively impact finasteride's efficacy.
community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens.
A method for treating androgenic alopecia using minoxidil, antiandrogens, exercise, and cold exposure to promote hair growth. Environmental factors and lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, can improve treatment effectiveness.
community By how much percent does nizoral 2% shampoo reduces scalp dht?
Ketoconazole shampoo may reduce scalp DHT by around 10% but is not effective enough to stop hair loss on its own. For better results, finasteride, minoxidil, and lifestyle changes are recommended.

8 / 12 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.
- Is pyrilutamide a safer alternative to oral antiandrogens like finasteride? Pyrilutamide may be a safer topical alternative to oral antiandrogens like finasteride.
- Does metformin help control DHT levels that trigger androgenic alopecia? Metformin has been shown to lower circulating androgens in women with PCOS, but no published study has measured scalp DHT, 5-alpha reductase activity in the follicle, or hair density in anyone taking it — so its effect on pattern hair loss is untested, and it is not a DHT blocker.
