5 / 403 resultscommunity Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
community Why you may be taking Dutasteride wrong
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss, with optimal dosing at 0.5mg once or twice a week to minimize side effects. Topical application may further reduce side effects while effectively lowering scalp DHT.
community DHT reduction in the scalp for all doses of dutasteride is now available.
Higher doses of dutasteride reduce scalp DHT more effectively than finasteride, but have diminishing returns after 3mg daily and may cause more side effects. Combining dutasteride with topical minoxidil can enhance results, but using both finasteride and dutasteride together is unnecessary.
