5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Any experience with dutasteride 2.5mg dose? (Or any dose more than 0.5 mg).
A user with aggressive androgenic alopecia is considering increasing their dutasteride dose from 0.5 mg to potentially 2.5 mg, while already using oral minoxidil, Nizoral, RU-58841, and dermapen. They are seeking advice on the effectiveness and side effects of higher dutasteride doses, with suggestions to consult a dermatologist and consider a higher Nizoral concentration.
community Is 2.5 mg of dut even worth it?
Higher doses of dutasteride, like 2.5 mg, may offer more hair growth than 0.5 mg, but the difference is not significant for most people. Many users find 0.5 mg effective, and increasing the dose is often unnecessary unless experiencing severe hair loss.
community We need more people trying 2.5 mg dutasteride
Increasing the dutasteride dose to 2.5 mg may significantly reduce DHT and promote hair regrowth, with similar side effects to lower doses. Some users combine dutasteride with minoxidil and finasteride for better results, but there are concerns about long-term effectiveness and availability.
community Research Backed Dutasteride Simulator (Serum/Scalp DHT included for all doses)
A dutasteride simulator predicts that daily 0.5 mg dosing results in higher DHT suppression compared to less frequent dosing. Twice-weekly dutasteride may be as effective as finasteride 5 mg, providing a balance between efficacy and ease of use.
community 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.
