learn Bicalutamide

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

Frontline, gold standard treatment for combatting androgenic alopecia

Finasteride for alopecia: the definitive guide to using it correctly. Finasteride 1 mg daily blocks DHT and, in trials, slowed hair loss in most men over 6 to 12 months, though some men do not respond and the benefit lasts only while the drug is taken. It is prescription-only and carries a pregnancy contraindication.

learn Baicapil

Losing hair from hormonal imbalance? Baicapil might block DHT without messing with your hormones. No published study shows that Baicapil blocks DHT — the only data on the ingredient itself is the manufacturer's own unpublished dossier, and the baicalin research behind the claim is cancer cell-line work in which the effect was explicitly independent of the androgen receptor.

learn Clascoterone

a novel topical treatment that inhibits DHT on androgen receptors

learn Nanoxidil

learn PP405

Did you know PP405 peptides can help protect your follicles from DHT? PP405 is not a peptide and does not block DHT: it is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, aimed at waking dormant follicles. Its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) measured safety and tolerability in 78 adults with pattern hair loss; it is not approved and not for sale.

learn Exosomes

What does Fluridil do on the scalp, and how does it block the DHT hormone? Fluridil blocks DHT by binding to androgen receptors in hair follicles, preventing hair loss.

learn Cyproterone

a synthetic anti-androgen and weak progestogen that inhibits DHT binding to androgen receptor

learn Saw Palmetto

a natural and far less effective alternative to Finasteride
