      community Minoxidil is NOT an Anti-androgen. No.

      in Research/Science  43 upvotes 4 months ago
      Minoxidil is not an anti-androgen; it is a growth stimulator and does not lower DHT like finasteride or dutasteride. Minoxidil can cause side effects like facial swelling and anxiety due to its vasodilator properties.

      The user experienced reduced hair loss after switching from finasteride and dutasteride to consuming fruit seeds like pumpkin and flaxseed, but others suggest the improvement is likely due to the delayed effects of the medications. There is skepticism about the seeds' effectiveness in blocking DHT compared to the medications.
