      community What's the point of finasteride if dutasteride exists?

       43 upvotes 20 hours ago
      Finasteride is effective for hair loss with fewer side effects and quicker clearance compared to dutasteride, which is more potent but has a longer half-life and potentially more side effects. Users suggest starting with finasteride and considering dutasteride only if more hair retention is needed and side effects are manageable.
