Will the use of avodart can damage the making of a child? Can it cause misdevelopment if the semen has traces of dutasteride? I have not found anything on this subject online, except women should not use it themselfs. Best not to be on the drug when you are trying to get your wife pregnant

I’ve got Minoxidil (10mg) and Avodart (dutasteride) 0.5mg, both in tablet form. My friend (a dermatologist) suggested taking one of each daily. I’m just wondering if this is a good amount to be taking or if I should be starting with something different? In addition to this,what other routines or techniques would you guys recommend? […]
No, I don’t believe that there is any effort being made by the FDA or through the manufacturer of this drug to approve Dutasteride for use in hair loss. This would be a costly process for the drug company with great risks, considering that there may be more potential side effects than the financial rewards […]
Article: https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/hmbci.2017.30.issue-3/hmbci-2017-0015/hmbci-2017-0015.xml Conclusion of this study Our findings suggest that long-term dutasteride therapy produces worsening of ED, reduced T levels and increased glucose, HbA1c and alters lipid profiles, suggesting induced imbalance in metabolic function. We strongly recommend that physicians discuss with their patients these potential serious adverse effects of long-term dutasteride therapy prior to instituting […]
Many doctors prescribe Avodart for hair loss. I generally do not believe it adds much benefit. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and practices. In my opinion, although Avodart blocks more of the DHT than finasteride, it does not block 100% of DHT (probably 80-85%) will likely still cause genetic hair loss once it […]
I really do not have a clear answer to your situation. In general, Propecia or Avodart will not be as effective on your front and temple areas. They each work best on the top/crown areas of your scalp. I do not know if you will have more or less shedding as everyone has different results, […]
Thank you for sharing your experience with Propecia (finasteride) and Avodart (dutasteride). To answer your question in perspective, there is no magic pill or drug to cure or reverse hair loss. If you are genetically predisposed to hair loss, Propecia will only postpone it as long as possible. For some men this may be many […]
We don’t usually endorse the use of Dutasteride for hair loss due to this type of issue on male fertility and fathering a child. There are some discussions of male infertility with dutasteride, but these are not scientifically presented in a clinical study. I am not aware of any studies that pertain to conception while […]
Nothing has changed in recent times. For clarification, Propecia is a brand name of a generic drug named finasteride in 1mg strength. Proscar is also a brand name of a generic drug named finasteride but in 5mg strength. Avodart is a brand name of a generic drug named dutasteride in 0.5mg strength. Propecia is the […]
My advice is speak to your doctor. If you were prescribed the medication, discuss any questions you may have with the doctor that prescribed it to you. I do not advocate the use or usually recommend Avodart (dutasteride) for treating hair loss. I have prescribed it in select cases, but Avodart does have a long […]
Honestly, you need to ask your doctor. This is a prescription medication that I did not prescribe to you. I can’t tell you whether you should switch between medications. Sorry. avodart, dutasteride, finasteride, propecia, hairloss, hair loss
Avodart must be prescribed off label (unless you have prostate issues), so it’s up to your doctor if he is willing to prescribe it to you. The decision to switch from finasteride to dutasteride (Avodart) is one that you must reach with your prescribing doctor. Some people report better response with Avodart, but you must […]
Upping the dose of Propecia (finasteride) usually does not work in your situation. Rogaine (minoxidil) is fairly effective in the crown and worth trying. Avodart (dutasteride) is an option and some doctors will prescribe it, however, the long term risks of sterility are there (probably remote), and the side effects are more frequent than on […]
My first choice for a drug treatment is always finasteride (Propecia) and in the generic form it costs about $3/month. So yes, while Propecia is probably the cheaper option, it is also the only oral drug approved at this time by the FDA for the treating genetic hair loss (the other is topical minoxidil). There […]
Both Avodart (dutasteride) and Propecia (finasteride) work in a similar mechanism by blocking the formation of DHT, but I have often stated that treating androgenic alopecia is not only about blocking DHT. I do not believe if you block DHT 100% you will stop or reverse the balding process. I’m not sure which study you’re […]
