Would Catch-Up Loss on Avodart Take Longer than Propecia?

Hi Doctor,

Given the longer half life of Avodart would you expect catch up hair loss – due to stopping drug – to be delayed more than Propecia (i.e 3-6 months)?

Thank you for your time.

That’s an interesting question. I do not know for sure, but I suppose in theory the catch-up hair loss with Avodart (dutasteride) may take a bit longer considering the long half life.
