Q: Are there DHT blockers that are sold in the pharmacy over the counter?
A: The only effective DHT blockers are finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) and dutasteride (Avodart).

What Hair Loss Medications are Effective DHT Blockers and are they Sold Over the Counter?
April 21st, 2008Do You Recommend Avodart (Dutasteride) Hair Loss Medication?
February 25th, 2008Q: I heard that there is a new drug on the market called Avodart for prostate enlargement which might help with hair loss as it blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT better than Finasteride and is more effective than Propecia. Do you recommend taking it and if so what is the dose?
A: I am [...]
