A 25-year-old woman with androgenic alopecia has been using minoxidil, spironolactone, and dutasteride but sees little improvement in hair thinning. She is considering switching to oral minoxidil and exploring other treatments like PRP and hair systems.
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.
community So what other supplements should you take alongside finasteride.
The conversation discusses using finasteride for hair loss and considers additional supplements like vitamin D3, melatonin, zinc, biotin, and minoxidil. There is debate over zinc's effectiveness, with some suggesting it may not be beneficial for hair loss.
community So happy with results! 4 months
