More Effective — Avodart or Proscar?
Do you think Avodart 0.5mg or Propecia 5mg is more effective for hair loss?
First, Avodart (dutasteride) is not FDA approved for the treatment of male pattern baldness (MPB), although because of its mechanism it should work in the same manner. Perhaps one day it will be approved, but it currently is not. Tests are presently underway in an approved FDA contractor to determine the safety and effectiveness of dutasteride. Early studies show it is more effective at much higher dosages which may cause sterility in young men.
There is no Propecia 5mg — you’re confusing it with Proscar, which is 5mg finasteride (for prostate treatment). Propecia is 1mg of finasteride and is FDA approved for the treatment of MPB. Propecia and Proscar are the same drug in different dosages.
