5 / 109 resultscommunity I talked to urologist about Finasteride and just wanted to share what he said
The effects of Finasteride, a drug used to treat hair loss, prostate problems and other conditions. The post by iaskedadoctor describes the conversations they had with a Urologist about the effects of the drug on DHT levels throughout the body, how lower doses are beneficial in reducing side effects, how erectile dysfunction can be psychological as well as physiological, how morning erections are not necessarily important, and how persistent side effects appear to be rare.

community i got more results 1 month 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg dutasteride then i did 6 months on finasteride and topical minoxidil
A user reported better hair regrowth with 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg dutasteride than with finasteride and topical minoxidil, calling topical minoxidil a scam. Replies varied, with some defending topical minoxidil, questioning the user's application method, and suggesting that previous treatments might be contributing to the observed results.
community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
