I am not sure, but the increased testosterone could lead to greater aromatase into DHT.

A friend of mine, who had breast cancer, is on tamoxifen and hair growth is apparently much slower than it was.

I think it does increase testosterone somewhat. I know my friend's shoe size has been increasing. As an example, I am taking spironolactone and estrogen and my shoe size has been decreasing.
