      community 18 months Dut - Shed after shed without any gains

      in Update  115 upvotes 5 months ago
      Dutasteride caused persistent hair shedding and no improvement for 18 months, leading to a switch back to finasteride. The user also uses oral minoxidil and plans to focus on better scalp health.

      The user shares a positive experience with Dutasteride for hair loss, noting increased hair density and minimal side effects after switching from Finasteride. They prefer oral Dutasteride and avoid Minoxidil due to its inconvenience and potential risks.

      community Why is everyone not directly advised Dutasteride?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  169 upvotes 1 year ago
      Dutasteride is less commonly prescribed for hair loss because it is not FDA-approved for this purpose, unlike finasteride, which is more accessible and preferred due to fewer side effects. Dutasteride may be more effective in reducing DHT but has a longer half-life and potentially more significant side effects.
