Started with oral finasteride and switched to topical after years of use once low libido and ED side effects started. Topical had been working well for a few years, but now once again suffering from low libido and ED. I understand Duasteride is stronger, but does anyone know or have anecdotal experience with switching medications […]

I’m one of the countless who have started taking Dut and trying to figure out the best way to transition off of Finasteride to Dut daily. It seems that doctors and users do not agree on this topic. Some have suggested, and it seems in theory, that taking a loading phase of Dut is the […]
There is little doubt that the microneedling reversed this Norwood Class 7 balding pattern. As for hair cycles, I wonder if he didn’t maintain some microneedling routine and if the new hair will stick around. I believe that microneedling should be maintained at least once a month to hold on to the new hair.
I have been seeing the charts going around that a .3 or.25 topical finasteride reduces scalp DHT more than 1mg oral fin. I am asking this because I am losing density on 1mg finasteride. Before I try DUT or anything else I was wondering if you believe that this will help me. Please let me […]
I recently discovered that Dutasteride has a half life of 4-5 weeks. I am considering getting off of Dutasteride (daily usage for about 3 years) completely because I feel like it is heavily contributing to my anxiety (timing is very similar). I am on no other hair loss remedies currently but have had one temporal area […]
Dutasteride is not FDA-cleared for use on hair loss. It also has a very long half-life of 5-6 weeks in the bloodstream and many, many months in your body. That means if you develop side effects and stop the medications, the side effects can last up to a year. Finasteride, on the other hand, has […]
I’m afraid I have to disagree. Both drugs work the same way. Dutasteride is 85% effective as a competitive inhibitor of DHT compared to finasteride, which is 70% effective; however, you pay a price for using or adding dutasteride, which is its long half-life. Dutasteride has a half-life in the bloodstream of 5-6 weeks, while […]
I’m thinking about taking Dut or Fin but I’m not having any hairloss. I made a post yesterday about being concerned about my testosterone levels. I know that Dut and Fin can raise T levels by a little and I would like to do that in combination with other natural supplements that supposedly boost T […]
Our body has feedback loops. Possibly your body recognized the need for more testosterone production which would raise the DHT levels. This could explain the many men who told me that their sex drive went up on finasteride. In the future, for these men, I will offer DHT blood testing for these men with increased […]
Should Finasteride and Dutasteride be taken on the same day? For example: should I take Dutasteride in the morning, then Finasteride at night? It makes no sense to use both dutasteride and finasteride. Pick one or the other. Get a doctor to advise you.
Interesting reversal in female patient with dutasteride and oral minoxidil. She restored much of her female concave hairline. Amazing
It is unusual for a 44-year-old male to reverse all of the frontal hair loss as this man did. I don’t have a history of him but possibly the thinning that he showed in the before picture was more recent, making it more susceptible to the drugs he took. Well, he worked it out. I […]
I have being taking finasteride for a year with no side and I think I made some nice progress but 3 month ago I asked my doctor about trying dutasteride since I didn’t have any side with finasteride. My reason was : didn’t get side so might as well get the stronger stuff and also even […]
If you switch from fin to Dut, do you still have to wait ~12months to see progress? Switching from finasteride to dutasteride just increases the effectiveness by 15% at most. Usually, you will see any benefits in about 3 months if you have been on finasteride for at least 6-9 months at the time of […]
I have taken Dutasteride for 2 years and for the last 6 months, I have had lost my interest in sex and have complete ED. I had a girlfriend and I think that she left me because of it. I am now off of it for 5 weeks and don’t care about my hair anymore. […]
