Q: Some non-steroid athletic nutritional supplements claim to increase testosterone. Assuming they worked, would increasing testosterone increase DHT and hair loss?
A: Yes, if they were effective in increasing testosterone then they may accelerate hair loss.
Q: I have been on Propecia for a year and my hair loss has not stopped or slowed down. How much longer should I give the drug? Can Propecia speed up hair loss in some patients?
A: If you have not responded to Propecia in one year, it is unlikely that you will.
Finasteride may cause shedding in the first 6 months of treatment, but should not accelerate hair loss long-term. It is most likely that you have progression of your hair loss.
In addition, be sure that you have a correct diagnosis i.e. that you actually have androgenetic alopecia.
