Dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels, potentially more effectively than finasteride, and is used to treat hair loss. Some users report side effects like reduced libido and mood changes, while others experience hair regrowth and increased testosterone.

Hair loss and potential treatments, primarily focusing on Finasteride and Minoxidil. Other solutions discussed include PRP, dermarolling, LLP, and scalp tension relief.

A 19-year-old reports positive hair regrowth using oral minoxidil and finasteride, with no side effects. The conversation includes advice on consulting a dermatologist and exploring alternative treatments.

The user is taking 2.5 mg dutasteride and 5% minoxidil but is not seeing hair regrowth, and is considering adding RU58841. They are experiencing fatigue and low MCV/MCH, possibly related to dutasteride, and are advised to be patient, consider microneedling, and check for iron deficiency.
