Statins are actually associated with hair loss. And inhibiting androgen production at such an early stage would be akin to castration if it did work. Oral Ketoconazole inhibits steroidogenesis if that is of interest. As does cyproterone acetate and I believe spironolacton (though perhaps only in the adrenal glands).
