Why Is Dutasteride More Effective than Finasteride?
Dr.Rassman
I’ve been using dutasteride for 2 years and 9 months after being on finasteride for 6 years and dutasteride has made an improvement on my hairline and the overall fullness of my front line. The scientific question i would like to post, could it be possible that the reason why dutasteride outlasts finasteride has to do with the fact that it is three times more powerful 5 alpha reductase II than finasteride, and since finasteride mode of action as to do with the fact that inhibits 5 alpha reductase type II? since dutasteride is more effective at inhibiting the type II of alpha reductase, that explains why it’s more effective that finasteride in fighting hairloss (so it has nothing to do with dutasteride’s ability of inhibiting 5 alpha reductase type I).
Best regards.
There is no proof in what you’re saying, but the reality is that you saw a benefit from dutasteride over finasteride. The hair loss treatment study overview, according to FDA standards, is being performed now in the Republic of Korea. When the study results are in, then we will know more about the predictability of dutasteride, as well as the safety factors.
