      community Dustaride and vitamins question?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  3 upvotes 10 months ago
      Dustaride doesn't require avoiding any vitamins, but checking vitamin D levels and supplementing if deficient is suggested. Hair vitamins are generally unnecessary unless there's a deficiency.

      Alcohol-based minoxidil absorbs better but can cause irritation; non-alcohol-based is gentler. Topical dutasteride shows promise but needs more research; low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/day) is effective with fewer side effects. Ingredients like Procapil, Redensyl, caffeine, and Anagain in shampoos have limited evidence; ketoconazole shampoo can help when used 2-3 times a week with other treatments.

      community I guess I’m cooked. 1mg fin/day 2.5 mg min/day + topical tretinoin (3x/week) + topical min/day. June 2023-june 2025

      The user has been using 1mg finasteride daily, 2.5mg minoxidil daily, topical tretinoin three times a week, and topical minoxidil daily from June 2023 to June 2025 without noticeable improvement in hair loss. Suggestions include switching to dutasteride and increasing oral minoxidil to 5mg daily, but concerns about long-term health effects are raised.

      The user experienced significant hair regrowth using high doses of dutasteride, minoxidil, and finasteride, but still considers a hair transplant due to thin hair and limited temple improvement. They face challenges accessing medication and are exploring additional treatments like microneedling.

      Increasing the dutasteride dose to 2.5 mg may significantly reduce DHT and promote hair regrowth, with similar side effects to lower doses. Some users combine dutasteride with minoxidil and finasteride for better results, but there are concerns about long-term effectiveness and availability.
