community Saying creatine causes loss on fin/dut makes no sense and this is why
The conversation discusses whether creatine causes hair loss for those using finasteride or dutasteride, with some suggesting creatine might increase DHT or upregulate androgen receptors, potentially leading to hair loss. Others argue the evidence is not conclusive, citing limited studies and personal anecdotes, with some avoiding creatine as a precaution.

community Since Dutasteride is dose dependent, is there any real difference in taking 0.5mg daily vs every other day?
Taking dutasteride daily at higher doses results in more effective DHT suppression compared to every other day dosing, due to its dose-dependent nature and long half-life. Even at lower doses, dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss.
community I donβt understand this, is he equating taking Fin with being on HRT?
