learn Ketoconazole

antifungal with some anti-androgenic benefits, often used as a shampoo

learn Spironolactone

powerful topical and oral anti-androgen used mostly by women

learn Minoxidil

An essential vasodilator with some anti-androgenic effects

learn Azelaic Acid

acid used for antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-androgenic properties

learn Bicalutamide

a nonsteroidal anti-androgen, most commonly used orally for women

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.

learn Finasteride

Is Finasteride unbeatable or are there equally powerful alternatives? Trials report finasteride as the single medication with the strongest measured effect in male androgenetic alopecia, while dutasteride, minoxidil, topical finasteride, PRP, LLLT and microneedling all have supporting studies and are often reported to work better in combination. Finasteride, dutasteride and oral minoxidil are prescription-only, and several of these uses are off-label.

learn Clascoterone

Can I use clascoterone if I'm undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy? No published clinical trial has tested clascoterone in people on gender-affirming hormone therapy, so its safety in that group is unknown. The FDA label reports low systemic exposure and no described effect on blood testosterone, but it also records HPA-axis suppression and raised potassium in a small minority of subjects.

learn Pyrilutamide

Is pyrilutamide a safer alternative to oral antiandrogens like finasteride? Pyrilutamide may be a safer topical alternative to oral antiandrogens like finasteride.
