      community Why is everyone not directly advised Dutasteride?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  165 upvotes 1 month ago
      Dutasteride is less commonly prescribed for hair loss because it is not FDA-approved for this purpose, unlike finasteride, which is more accessible and preferred due to fewer side effects. Dutasteride may be more effective in reducing DHT but has a longer half-life and potentially more significant side effects.
