community Why does finasteride stop working?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 26 upvotes 1 month ago

Finasteride may seem less effective over time due to increased DHT sensitivity or aging, but it still suppresses DHT. Switching to dutasteride offers stronger DHT suppression but may increase estrogen levels.
