Will Switching to Dutasteride in a Few Years Keep What Finasteride Has Already Kept?

Hi Dr..
I took my first pill yesterday, but now am not so sure if i should continue. Im 18, and I dont want to become tolerant to finasteride at 22-23.

But let’s ASSUME that dutasteride is approved by the FDA in the future, and I’m 23 with a tolerance to finasteride. Will switching to dutasteride restart the process, like will it act separately from the finasteride, and thus give me another 5-7 years of low DHT?

Please reply. I need to make up my mind, soon. Thank You

There is not such thing as tolerance to finasteride (Propecia). See Propecia and Hair Count for more information on that.

I don’t think taking finasteride has to do anything with your possible use of dutasteride in future.
