Can’t I Just Take Dutasteride Bi-Weekly Because of the Long Half Life?

hi dr,
i just have a question about dutasteride. ive heard that the half life of the medication tends to persist longer then propecia. why cant we just then take it on a bi weekly basis or something instead of taking it daily like propecia which half life is 6 hours? wouldnt this be something to try? just thought id get your opinion. thanks for your time and answer in advance

Bi-weekly dosing makes sense, but it is not what I recommend today. Remember, the medication is still not FDA approved to treat hair loss at this point. Some people suggest taking 2.5mg, some suggest 0.5mg. Once the formal clinical trials are made public, many questions will be cleared up. I am not experimenting on patients, so you will have to find a doctor willing to do what you are asking. The half life of dutasteride is measured in weeks.
