Dutasteride, Finasteride: No Increased Risk of Erectile Dysfunction

Dutasteride improved hair density and thickness in men who didn't respond to finasteride, with some experiencing transient sexual dysfunction. Users discussed switching from finasteride to dutasteride, noting initial shedding but eventual hair improvement.

The user experienced significant hair loss after 9 months of using 0.5mg dutasteride and oral minoxidil, possibly due to alopecia areata. It is advised to consult a doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment, as dutasteride and finasteride may not be effective.

Oral dutasteride 0.5 mg combined with oral minoxidil 2.5 mg is highly effective for male androgenetic alopecia, showing over 60% improvement and 98% stabilization at 6 months, with low adverse event rates. Patients with severe baseline conditions respond better and faster to this treatment.

A user reports significant hair shedding and regrowth after increasing their dutasteride dosage to 5mg, alongside using RU58841, minoxidil, and topical finasteride, with no side effects. They recommend high doses of dutasteride, sourced from China, despite concerns about its safety.

Switching from finasteride to dutasteride led to retrograde alopecia for some users, with mixed results on hair regrowth. Some experienced increased shedding, while others saw regrowth or no change.

The conversation is about using dutasteride 0.5mg, minoxidil 5%, and RU58841 for hair loss treatment. Users discuss dosage, potential side effects, and experiences with these treatments.
