The article shown here published in a respected medical journal discusses the influence of Finasteride and Dutasteride in the appearance of diabetes in men with enlarged prostates treated with these drugs CCBY Open access Research Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in men receiving steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors: population based cohort study BMJ 2019; 365 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.l1204 (Published 10 April 2019)Cite […]
5 alpha-reductase inhibitors (5ARI) include finasteride and dutasteride, and are commonly prescribed in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia. 5ARIs are associated with several known adverse effects (AEs), with varying reported prevalence rates. The aim was to review and summarize findings from published literature detailing AEs associated with 5ARI use. A secondary […]
Note: Article Warns of Variations in the Quality of These Drugs on the Market Pharmacogenetic analysis of human steroid 5 alpha reductase type II: comparison of finasteride and dutasteride in Journal of Molecular Endocrinology Authors: Nick Makridakis and Juergen K V Reichardt Human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type II is a prostate-specific, membrane-associated enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of testosterone […]
One point that I think is worth mentioning is that the deviation in response for Dut is much narrower than it is for fin. Finasteride inhibits 70% +- 18% of Dht while Dut is 94% +- 3%. As you can see, it’s clear why there are about 14% non responders to fin when they may only […]
You should add minoxidil and then go another year. Likely, it will make a difference
Will Dutasteride will shrink your prostate even if it’s NOT enlarged? Will it shrink a normal-sized prostate? If not, why not? I’m taking it for MPB, and as far as I’m aware, I have a normal-sized prostate… but I’m gay, and prostate stimulation is an important part of the pleasure of gay sex. So if […]
I just started Dutasteride. What’s this about the half-life allowing you to take it less often than fin? The half life for dutasteride is 6 days (this is in the blood), but the tissue life (at the hair follicle itself) lasts much longer–possibly weeks or even a month. Less frequent dosing is ok, in my […]
This patient was treated with 0.1% dutasteride injections for 6 months. This is not an approved medication with regard to safety, so I am not rushing to start offering these treatments.
Added dutasteride after 6 months on finasteride. It’s total 18 months now. Bloodwork results : Testosterone Total – 584 (249 – 836) Testosterone Free – 19.2 (8.8 – 27) Estradiol E2 – 13 (11.6 – 41.2) DHT – 389.2 (250 – 990) DHT is still in normal range. I thought combination of fin and dut […]
Dutasteride has a long tissue fixation period lasting a good month, so missing a dose for 5 days is not an issue. Also note that the blood half life for dutasteride is 6 days, which means that half of it was in your blood when you stopped taking it. For the few men when I […]
As some of you may know, Ashton Kutcher revealed during a talk with Conan O’Brien that he’s taking Avodart, which basically is Dutasteride. If you now compare his hair situation with the one of his un-identical twin brother, Michael Kutcher, it may be an indicator of Dutasteride working. Of course they don’t have the exact […]
So I’m getting 90 0.5mg pills delivered to me in the next few days and even though I only plan to apply topically, I’m still a bit worried about the half-life in the bloodstream. I’m hoping that very little will actually make it systemic, but it is much more potent than fin and last much […]
2 months ago, I tested my DHT levels and got this value: 747.67 pg/ml. I have been taking Dutasteride for a month now, but saw no improvement in my hair: the bald spot on my crown continued to grow. I tested my DHT again 2 days ago: 1110.8 pg/ml. Of course. Increasing the DHT levels […]
