Let your hair grow out for about 2 weeks and then get an examination. You should get your hair mapped out for miniaturization to see where your balding pattern is now, since you don’t seem sure of your pattern and I’d guess that you haven’t had a doctor actually look at your scalp in quite […]

The phase 3 study was completed in January of this year — ClinicalTrials.gov – A Study To Assess The Efficacy And Safety Of Dutasteride 0.5mg Once Daily For 6 Months In The Treatment Of Male Subjects With Androgenetic Alopecia I have no idea what that means in relation to submitting it to the FDA for […]
Go seek out another dermatologist. I personally would not treat a 55 year old female with Avodart (dutasteride) unless they had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or a similar problem.
I do not know. The FDA studies on Avodart (dutasteride) for treating hair loss are being done in Korea, not China. See Is Avodart Going to Be FDA Approved for Treating Hair Loss? and ClinicalTrials.gov for more.
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 […]
Why the switch to Avodart (dutasteride) from Propecia (finasteride)? Propecia is the only FDA approved oral medication for the treatment of hair loss. Avodart is not. If the Propecia was working well for you and had an acceptable side effect profile for you, you should go back to using it. Avodart has not been shown […]
You are asking for detailed medical advice, but I am not your doctor — for legal and ethical reasons, I can only provide general advice. You need to address these issues with the doctor that prescribed you the anabolic steroids and Avodart (dutasteride). You don’t seem to have a focus on the long term consequences […]
I do not prescribe this medication for most patients that I know intimately. There are potential side effects of the drug, which include decreased fertility by dropping the sperm count. I don’t know if this reverses. Sexual side effects are also common. Unfortunately, I can not help you.
That is not the recommended dose of Propecia (finasteride 1mg) or Avodart (dutasteride 0.5mg). You are really experimenting with this regimen and I do not know what positive or negative effects that would have. I think that you are overtreating your hair loss and with the Avodart you run the risk of a decreased sperm […]
You should address these concerns with the doctor who prescribed you Propecia (finasteride) or Avodart (dutasteride). If you switched to Avodart specifically due to cost issues, you should know there are other less costly alternatives, such as generic finasteride in 5mg strength, that you can cut in 4 pieces to approximate the 1mg finasteride (Propecia). […]
Adding Avodart to the Propecia dose may not benefit you, based on what we current know about Avodart. It is highly possible that you have reached the maximal benefit of the drugs. You must remember that hair loss does go in cycles, so playing with drugs and doses may not cause the changes you are […]
I do not know when the Avodart (dutasteride) studies on treating hair loss will be complete. It may depend upon what is found after the results on safety and effectiveness are evaluated. Hypothyroid hair loss is non-patterned (diffuse) hair loss, whereas normal male pattern baldness (MPB) will follow patterns as outlined in the Norwood Chart.
I am just speculating here, as I don’t have the definitive answer to your question. Avodart (dutasteride) may be more powerful that Propecia (finasteride) in treating hair loss at higher doses than are usually used (2.5mgs/day rather than0.5mgs/day), but it almost certainly has more side effects as well including significantly reduced sperm counts. The best […]
You can also get anabolic steroids and marijuana from any doctor. Maybe even cocaine at your local street corner… if you look/try hard enough, you can find anything. Using Avodart (dutasteride) for hair loss is off-label, which means it is not approved for the treatment for hair loss, but it should not be frivolously compared […]
I do not know the time frame of the FDA approval process, but I do know that FDA approval for Avodart (dutasteride) for the treatment of male pattern baldness (MPB) is pending, awaiting the proper scientific studies that determine safety and effectiviness. Keep in mind Avodart and Propecia both work in similar ways targeting DHT […]
