A member asked:
Is it safe to take dht blocker during puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: This hasn't been studied, to my knowledge, but i'd guess Dht is pretty important during puberty, so it's probably not a good idea to block it during that critical phase. Personally, i wouldn't take the chance. And why would you want to do it anyway?
