Finasteride effectively treats male pattern hair loss with a 1 mg daily dose.
research A randomized, active- and placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of different doses of dutasteride versus placebo and finasteride in the treatment of male subjects with androgenetic alopecia
Dutasteride 0.5 mg works better than finasteride and placebo for increasing hair in men with hair loss.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Oral minoxidil dosage timing. And Is tretinoin a gamechanger?
The user is considering splitting their 5 mg oral minoxidil dose into two 2.5 mg doses and is asking about starting tretinoin on the scalp, questioning if it should be used alone initially or with topical minoxidil. They also inquire if tretinoin significantly improved their hair loss treatment.
community What is the real impact of dutasteride on neurosteroids? A little review of 2 scientific datas
Dutasteride at 0.5 mg/day does not significantly alter allopregnanolone levels, but higher doses (2.5 mg/day) do. Dutasteride may also have anti-neuroinflammatory effects, but the impact on neurosteroids is still debated.
community (26 M) 9 months on oral minoxidil and oral finasteride

community First 3 pics are at 6 months .5 mg fin daily, last 3 are 13 months
The user experienced improved hair at 6 months using 0.5 mg finasteride daily but noticed more scalp visibility and potential hair loss at 13 months, questioning if this was due to shedding or the treatment not working. Some respondents suggested the possibility of a shed or scalp inflammation, while others observed improvements or advised checking for underlying scalp conditions.
community Why are low finasteride doses seen as highly ineffective, when studies show 0.05 mg/day to work?
The efficacy of low doses of finasteride to reduce scalp DHT, and whether studies showing a 61% reduction are reflected in actual results. Replies discussed hair growth as an unintended consequence of minoxidil and finasteride use, as well as self-selective bias, potential side effects, and that studies measure effectiveness by hair count changes rather than DHT inhibition.
