Switching from finasteride to dutasteride can cause significant hair shedding if done abruptly. It's recommended to overlap both treatments and gradually taper off finasteride to minimize shedding.
community DHT reduction in the scalp for all doses of dutasteride is now available.
Higher doses of dutasteride reduce scalp DHT more effectively than finasteride, but have diminishing returns after 3mg daily and may cause more side effects. Combining dutasteride with topical minoxidil can enhance results, but using both finasteride and dutasteride together is unnecessary.
community I’ve been on dutesteride and oral minoxidil for two years now and I’ve only lost ground… 25m What should I do?
A user on dutasteride and oral minoxidil for two years has experienced worsening hair loss and an itchy scalp. Suggestions include increasing medication doses, trying other treatments like RU58841, getting a scalp biopsy, and addressing potential inflammation through diet and topical treatments.
community How much DHT causes hair loss ?
The user is taking 2.5 mg dutasteride and 5% minoxidil but is not seeing hair regrowth, and is considering adding RU58841. They are experiencing fatigue and low MCV/MCH, possibly related to dutasteride, and are advised to be patient, consider microneedling, and check for iron deficiency.
community Those who have taken dutasteride what was your experience?
Dutasteride is often preferred over finasteride for hair loss due to its stronger DHT blocking, leading to better hair regrowth for some users. However, it can cause side effects like brain fog, libido changes, and mood issues, prompting some to switch back to finasteride or adjust their dosage.
