community Japan Uses Low Dose Dutasteride (0.1mg). Minimal exposure and hair growth success.

273 upvotes 6 months ago

Low-dose dutasteride (0.1 mg) is effective for hair growth, potentially more so than finasteride, with fewer side effects. East Asians may respond well to these treatments due to hair characteristics.

community If i add a little daily dose of spironolactone (25 mg a day) would the improvement to my hair loss be significant? and also how likely is it to give me unwanted effects? My current regimen is 6 days / week oral Finasteride, 1 day / week oral Dutasteride and twice a day minoxidil foam

5 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Adding 25 mg of spironolactone daily is unlikely to significantly improve hair loss and may not be effective at that dose. Current regimen includes oral finasteride, oral dutasteride, and minoxidil foam.

community How come i see lower dose fin, when 1mg is recommended

in Treatment 6 upvotes 4 months ago

People are using lower doses of finasteride than the recommended 1mg daily due to concerns about side effects, cost, and new data suggesting lower doses can be nearly as effective. Some users report stability or slight improvements with lower doses, but the effectiveness compared to 1mg daily is debated.

learn Finasteride

What does finasteride do to the female body? Find out its side effects. Finasteride is not approved for hair loss in women anywhere; the one controlled trial, in 137 postmenopausal women at 1 mg daily, found no benefit over placebo, while smaller uncontrolled studies at higher off-label doses report some improvement. It is contraindicated in pregnancy and crushed or broken tablets must not be handled.
Finasteride for alopecia: the definitive guide to using it correctly. Finasteride 1 mg daily blocks DHT and, in trials, slowed hair loss in most men over 6 to 12 months, though some men do not respond and the benefit lasts only while the drug is taken. It is prescription-only and carries a pregnancy contraindication.
Is finasteride safe? Studies report that most men tolerate finasteride 1 mg, but case series, regulatory labelling and patient reports describe sexual, mood and cognitive effects that some say persisted after stopping, and how often that happens is not established. It is a prescription-only medicine and is contraindicated in pregnancy.
