Q: Are there DHT blockers that are sold in the pharmacy over the counter? -- C.C., -- Fairfield County, Connecticut 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.
Q: Is using Minoxidil combined with Retin-A better than regular Minoxidil for Hair Loss? -- L.W., Gowanus, New York A: Minoxidil has been prescribed (off-label) in combination with other medications, such as topical retinoic acid (Retin-A), to enhance its penetration into the skin and thus increase its effectiveness. This combination of medications can increase the absorption of minoxidil into the bloodstream and may increase the risk of potential side effects, including changes in blood pressure and scalp irritation. It is important to use combination therapy under the supervision of a physician.
