Below is a quote from hairlosshelp.com on eucapil/ fluridil, is Dr Proctor confusing fluridil/eucapil with something else like flutamide??
I thought eucapil did not have significant sides?? I am about to start eucapil and then discovered this comment!
Thanks for any feedback

C asked: "Dr. Proctor, In a previous question I asked about the efficacy of fluridil. You said, "Yes Fluridil likely works. The problem is that it is readily absorbed systemically form topical application." Why is this a problem? What are the potential negative effects of systemic absorption? Are they similar to Propecia sides? "
Dr Peter H. Proctor, PhD MD answered: "Fluridl is a very potent antiandrogen that has the same side-effects as propecia, only at a significantly higher incidence. To my knowledge, it has not been looked at to treat pattern loss (too many side-effects). However studies on women indicate that the antiandrogenic effects of topical treatment are most likely purely due to systemic absorbtion. So what's the point ?
