community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
community Why you may be taking Dutasteride wrong
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss, with optimal dosing at 0.5mg once or twice a week to minimize side effects. Topical application may further reduce side effects while effectively lowering scalp DHT.
