      Dutasteride capsules were exposed to heat and humidity, causing them to soften, and the user considered replacing them with new ones from a local pharmacy. Suggestions included alternating between old and new capsules, storing them properly, and using them topically with Minoxidil, though the user decided to wait and see the effects of Dutasteride first.
