long term flutamide users

How long have you been using topical flutamide and does it lose its effectiveness over the years?

Ask el_duterino. Btw, it seems like flutamide causes some heavy systemic side effects, because it accumulates.

 

[el_duterino]

flutamide is not a valid hairloss treatment, too much andro sides and it is a known liver toxic drug.

No reason to use this over RU

I'm not looking for flutamide for treatment.

I'm just trying to figure out if exaggerated reflex androgenicity occurs with flutamide or any other blockers

 

[el_duterino]

whats exaggerated reflex androgenicity ?

 

[Rabid]

Commonly called Reflex Hyperandrogenicity, RH, RHA. It's existence is questionable, as it's only discussed on hair loss forums. I think the idea actually came from a couple of vague statements by hair loss doctors combined with prostate cancer studies and all the reports of shedding on finasteride.

However, there was apparently a more recent study on healthy BPH cells that showed the number of receptors do in fact increase in response to treatment, raising this possibility for hair follicles.
