community Why are low finasteride doses seen as highly ineffective, when studies show 0.05 mg/day to work?
The efficacy of low doses of finasteride to reduce scalp DHT, and whether studies showing a 61% reduction are reflected in actual results. Replies discussed hair growth as an unintended consequence of minoxidil and finasteride use, as well as self-selective bias, potential side effects, and that studies measure effectiveness by hair count changes rather than DHT inhibition.
community My hair loss theory and what I did to stop my hair loss. 6 years of stabilization.
A user shared their personal theory on hair loss, suggesting it's caused by reduced blood flow and scalp calcification rather than DHT, and claimed to have stopped their hair loss by massaging the scalp, using acid peels, and applying oils and copper peptides. They have not noticed further hair loss for six years since starting this routine.
community Since Dutasteride is dose dependent, is there any real difference in taking 0.5mg daily vs every other day?
Taking dutasteride daily at higher doses results in more effective DHT suppression compared to every other day dosing, due to its dose-dependent nature and long half-life. Even at lower doses, dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss.
