      Clascoterone 5% topical solution shows promise for treating male-pattern hair loss by blocking DHT at the follicle without systemic absorption, potentially offering fewer side effects than oral treatments like finasteride.

      Hair loss treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can cause initial shedding as they restart the hair growth cycle, but this is not an indicator of treatment failure. The effectiveness of these treatments should be judged by cosmetic changes over time, not by daily hair loss counts.
