Bernstein M.D. http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/dev/newblog/261/dht-blockers/ 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).

These medications require a doctor’s prescription and are not sold OTC. Nizoral is a topical shampoo for seborrhea (a type of dandruff) that is sold over the counter, but it is not effective in treating hair loss.
