	Some individuals may still experience androgenic side effects despite suppressed testosterone; DHT may be the culprit. DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is one of the primary causes of male pattern baldness, and DHT blockers such as dutasteride can be used if levels don't go down.

	Antiandrogens can impact organ functions. You should run specific tests depending on your antiandrogen. Cyproterone acetate and bicalutamide both may rarely cause liver toxicity. This can be monitored via a liver function test (LFT). Spironolactone can cause kidney problems, and kidney function and potassium should be tested.		Antiandrogens can impact organ functions.
