Dutasteride is unlikely to worsen hair loss; shedding is often temporary. Other factors like inconsistent use, placebo effect, or additional treatments may influence perceived results.
community How to Switch from Finasteride to Dutasteride according to literature.
Switching from finasteride to dutasteride involves gradually increasing dutasteride while decreasing finasteride. Studies show dutasteride 0.5 mg daily can improve hair density in men unresponsive to finasteride.
community My doctor prescribed me Finasteride 5mg Daily. Is the dosage too high?
A user was prescribed 5mg of Finasteride daily for hair loss, which is a higher dose typically used for prostate issues. Many suggest using a pill cutter to reduce the dose to 1mg or less per day, as it is more cost-effective and equally effective for hair loss.
community Is dutasteride every other day better than finasteride everyday?
The efficacy of taking dutasteride, a medication used to treat hair loss, every other day instead of daily. It was suggested that taking 0.5mg daily for 3 months and then switching to 3 times per week would be effective. Finasteride was also discussed as an alternative treatment option.
community After using fin for 1.5 years, i switched to 0.5 dut daily
After switching from finasteride to 0.5 mg dutasteride daily, the user experienced thinner hair but no shedding. They are considering continuing dutasteride and possibly using oral minoxidil, while also dealing with allergy-like symptoms possibly unrelated to the medication.
