Block your androgen receptors, or block your androgen at min levels, choose your pain, both have sides
True, but again its back to evidence. There is a LOT more evidence and studies on long term effects of propecia and DHT systemic inhibition than there is systemic receptor inhibition. finasteride as a chemical has been around a lot longer and is much more time tested, and in a much larger amount of the population.
Yeah both have down sides, but one is much is more studied then the other.
