I have been thinking about stopping propecia as I have been unfortunate to suffer from some side effects.

Are there any topical dht inhibitors that I could use without systemic absorption that people have reported to be successful and which one is best?

Also are there many people who have HT without taking propecia?

Blondie,

There are some who may list a number of "natural" alternatives to Propecia, but none of them have the proof of efficacy that Propecia does.

There are some supposed topical DHT inhibitors out there but none that have really been tested for both safety and efficacy for treatment of hair loss. You may want to consider trying Nizoral shampoo or Revita shampoo which contains Ketoconazol which has been said to have some anti-DHT effects.

You may also consider consulting with a doctor about staying on Propecia but lowering the dosage.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Falc
