Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
community How come beard hair on minoxidil is permanent while scalp hair while on it under fin/duta is not?
Beard hair grown with minoxidil can become permanent because it is not sensitive to DHT, unlike scalp hair, which requires ongoing minoxidil use even with DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride. Dutasteride reduces scalp DHT significantly but not completely, which may explain why scalp hair still needs minoxidil for maintenance.
community How come topical finasteride even works at all?
Topical finasteride can effectively reduce scalp DHT by targeting local enzymes, despite less systemic impact compared to oral forms. Combining oral dutasteride with topical finasteride and minoxidil may enhance hair loss prevention, though evidence of its effectiveness is limited.
