What do you recommend for hairloss

For hair loss, consider 2% ketoconazole shampoo and discuss DHT-blocking options with a medical professional, weighing possible side effects. Responses vary, so the choice depends on the cause of hair loss and your individual risk-benefit tradeoff. 1

• Ketoconazole shampoo: Use it two to four times weekly, leaving it on the scalp for three to five minutes. Massage it into thinning areas so it reaches the follicles, then rinse. It may help maintain hair and possibly support growth, but can cause scalp irritation or dry, brittle hair. 2 3
• Creatine: It may affect DHT in some people, but the discussion indicates it generally should not accelerate hair loss beyond a person’s natural predisposition. 4
• Propecia and topical alternatives: Propecia (finasteride) reduces DHT and can have side effects, including diminished sex drive. Topical DHT antagonists, including ketoconazole, may be alternatives to discuss with a clinician; topical treatments can still have systemic effects. 5 6
