A member asked:
Hey docs, i am wondering if it would be bad if i started using propecia, rogaine, (minoxidil) or some other dht blocker?

Be Careful: Rogaine (minoxidil) does not block DHT. Propecia helps to some extent the hair loss in men, but the sexual and feminizing gynecomastia is not a pleasant probable side-effect

"Meds": I would not recommend any of these without first discussing this with your doctor. When you do see the doctor take with you the bits and pieces of information that suggest the items that interest you.
