Androcur and Hair Loss

[cbeard (imported)]

Hello,

Does anyone know if Androcur will stop male pattern baldness as well as its chemical castration properties. Thank you so much.

Androcur will help, but not necessarily eliminate male pattern baldness. The true culprit is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) an alternate form of T. 5-AR inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride block the conversion of T to more powerful DHT. For hair loss, as little as 1 mg of finasteride per day will greatly reduce the incidence or likelihood of MPB.

Before starting on Depo-Provera and later Androcur, I had a small balding spot. Not compeletly filled in. But I bet "your mileage will vary."
