Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
Some users experience worsening hair loss with dutasteride, while others improve after initial shedding. Many switch back to finasteride due to better results or fewer side effects, often using minoxidil and topical treatments.
Dutasteride is safer than finasteride for long-term use, with fewer sexual side effects. Users experience better hair regrowth and fewer side effects with dutasteride.
Hair loss is a common issue, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil used but not as permanent cures. Frustration exists over societal perceptions and the lack of a definitive solution.
