8 citations , January 2025 in “Journal of Adolescent Health”

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 Hair Transplant

Does insurance cover hair transplants? Insurance usually doesn't cover hair transplants unless for specific medical conditions.
Can a hair transplant be combined with other treatments? Clinics commonly say a transplant is combined with other treatments, most often minoxidil, finasteride or PRP, but the evidence behind each add-on differs. Some of the add-ons offered, such as stem-cell or exosome products, are not approved treatments for hair loss.

learn Cyproterone

Is cyproterone safe to use during gender transition? Regulators and a large French cohort study link higher-dose, long-term cyproterone acetate to meningioma, and its label also lists liver-enzyme and mood effects — so it is not a drug anyone should call safe in the abstract, and its use in gender-affirming care is a prescriber's decision with monitoring.
