I’m Thinking About Trying Propecia and Avodart for a Year to See If It Works for Me

Hi Dr. Rassman and Dr. Pak.
I had a question I recently read a question on your forum about a guy that was taking propecia/finasteride everyday and also dutasteride/avodart once a week with great results. So I was thinking of trying this regimen of propecia and avodart for a least a year to see if I works for me? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and thanks for all your hard work as doctors and also for keeping this forum going strong. And also to thank you (Dr. Rassman) and Dr. Pak who has done my two procedures the most recent one being around February 2012.

And finally to all your staff which are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet!!

First, thanks for your kind words! They really mean a lot to us.

The combination of finasteride and dutasteride statistically will produce more sexual side effects. That is the reason we generally do not prescribe it. We can discuss this face to face on your next visit.
