5 / 31 resultscommunity Haircafe: Are dutasteride tablets less effective than dutasteride gel capsules?
Dutasteride tablets are less effective than softgel capsules because they require a fat-based environment for proper absorption. Softgel capsules, like Avodart, are designed to maximize bioavailability, while powdered tablets may result in significantly lower DHT suppression.
community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
