Many people use finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss, with some switching due to cost or effectiveness. Minoxidil is also commonly used, and side effects like weaker erections or ball pain are reported by some.

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.
