Taking only dutasteride and topical redensyl Finasteride/Dutasteride 1/25/2025
A 27-year-old male with Norwood grade 5 hair loss is using dutasteride and a hair serum with Redensyl, Anagain, Procapil, and Capilia Longa, but is hesitant to use oral minoxidil due to past allergic reactions to topical minoxidil. He plans to try dutasteride alone for 3 months before considering adding oral minoxidil.

Alcohol-based minoxidil absorbs better but can cause irritation; non-alcohol-based is gentler. Topical dutasteride shows promise but needs more research; low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/day) is effective with fewer side effects. Ingredients like Procapil, Redensyl, caffeine, and Anagain in shampoos have limited evidence; ketoconazole shampoo can help when used 2-3 times a week with other treatments.

Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution.
