| Notes | Spironolactone is one of the most powerful antiandrogens available. It is also absorbed locally when applied topically, so it is good for hairloss treatment since it is not absorbed throughout your body. Since it is so powerful, it is not used orally due to side effects (except in women). It is not widely used since it is available only by prescription. |
