User discusses two medications for stopping hair loss: Fin (finasteride) and Dut (dutasteride). Mixed experiences and side effects are shared, with some users seeing positive results.
community So...why does switching from fin to dut ruin people's hair?
Switching from finasteride to dutasteride can cause hair shedding, with mixed results; some see improvement, others see worsening. Using both treatments together initially may help reduce shedding.
