community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.

community Topical Finasteride strength discussion
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of different concentrations and dosages of topical finasteride on scalp and serum DHT levels, comparing it to oral finasteride and noting the side effects seem to be fewer at lower dosages. Participants shared experiences and referenced a chart indicating similar scalp DHT reduction with 0.025% topical finasteride as with 1mg oral finasteride, but with fewer side effects.
community Why is 1 mg the go to prescription of finasteride when it’s only 2 procent points more effective than 0.2 mg?
1 mg of finasteride is commonly prescribed because it is more effective for a larger number of people compared to lower doses, despite only slightly reducing serum DHT more than 0.2 mg. Serum DHT and scalp DHT are different, and 1 mg is believed to reduce scalp DHT more effectively, contributing to better hair growth results.
