community Does 2.5 mg of Dutasteride daily really make a substantial difference vs. 0.5 mg daily? If so, why? I thought you just pissed all the excess out, anyway. I’d like some direct user experience, please, especially if you tried one vs. the other.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 8 upvotes 5 months ago

Higher doses of Dutasteride, like 2.5 mg daily, may offer slightly more hair growth but come with increased risk of side effects, such as sexual dysfunction and sleep disturbances. Many users suggest starting with a lower dose, like 1 mg, to minimize side effects while still achieving effective results.

community Oral min 2.5mg vs 5mg? Is the higher dose worth it?

in Minoxidil 10 upvotes 1 month ago

Oral minoxidil 2.5mg is generally as effective as 5mg for hair loss with fewer side effects, making it a preferred starting dose. Some users experience side effects like dizziness and water retention at 5mg, and switching to topical minoxidil or combining it with finasteride is suggested for better results.
