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.
community 29M, 5.5 months of: 0.5mg finasteride, 5% minoxidil, 1.5mm microneedling once a week and 20mg RU58841. No notable sides. I feel much better, and happy to have started treatment just in time. I just wish I started sooner! The dandruffy gunk you see is definitely propylene glycol from minoxidil :')
