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 Research Backed Dutasteride Simulator (Serum/scalp DHT included for all doses)
A Dutasteride Simulator predicts serum dutasteride, serum DHT, and scalp DHT levels using models from research papers. It simulates various dosing schedules to determine steady-state effects and visualizes outcomes, including hair growth-related scalp DHT suppression.
community 4 years of dutasteride monotherapy
The conclusion of the conversation is that the user experienced noticeable regrowth of hair after using dutasteride as a single treatment for about 1.5 years. No before photos were available.
community Finasteride affects both 5a reductase and 5b reductase
Finasteride not only inactivates the 5a reductase enzyme but also affects the 5b reductase enzyme in a dose-dependent manner, which can impact sexual behavior and brain activity. The user experienced significant hair regrowth and side effects on 1mg of finasteride, which diminished after reducing the dose to 0.5mg, leading to no side effects and further hair improvement.
community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects
Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
