Oral minoxidil or other 5 inhibitor

Oral minoxidil is not an anti-androgen, it might, to a really small degree, disrupt dht pathways, but no one reliess on minoxidil for dht inhibition.

Viagra/Cialis are prescribed by some HT doctors to accelerate the healing process. This is because they are vasodilators and they do speed up hair cycles, meaning your hair might grow somewhat faster. Note that you do not want to overdose on vasodilators as you may have low blood pressure, heart palpitations or other heart related issues. If it happens that you need Viagra or Cialis for sex-related issues, that's a welcome addition, but you should not rely on those pills for hair growth. 

Oral minoxidil and/or topical minoxidil are clinically proven, and most likely superior to the rest of the vasodilators with insignificant side effects.

Cialis may help negate side effects from a 5-ari, but won’t help regrow hair or stop hair loss.
