What results can you expect from using bicalutamide on your scalp? There is no published human study of bicalutamide applied to the scalp for hair loss, no licensed topical product and no established dose, so no result can be predicted from it. The evidence that exists is for the oral tablet in women, which is a prescription drug requiring liver monitoring and contraindicated in pregnancy.
