Dutasteride

[Fin]

Hi,

 

I have been taking Finasterid for 2 years but I am not pleased.

 

I suppose that Dutasterid could help me?

 

What do you think about daily Finasterid and once a week a Dutasterid capsle?

 

 

Sorry for my English, I have been learning it for 1 year.

 

 

Regards

Better one day dutasteride and next day finasteride.

I have written about my experience with Finasteride and Dutasteride here:

 

My Experience and Unwanted Finasteride (and scroll down)

 

Dutasteride almost immediately made my hair feel thicker (to the touch), but did not significantly alter my hairline. I had largely passed the point of no return in the frontal and temporal areas.

 

One capsual of Dutasteride a week would probably be enough since it is metabolised in the body so slowly (much more so than Finasteride). In my opinion, taking both together is unnecessary.

 

Be aware that whilst there are studies of men having a deficiency of 5-Alpha Reductase Type II that show this has no adverse or abnormal effects, there are none to show the long term effects of inhibiting both Types I and II. Finasteride inhibits only Type II, whereas Dutasteride inhibits both, and in many men is unnecessary.

Hi,

 

thank you.

 

Should I start with a frontload or will it be enough, if I start with once a week?

 

Have you been taking Dut every day or once a week?

 

I have tried to read your thread but my English is not so good and I didn't understand everything.

 

 

Regards

I am not recommending that you take Dutasteride, just advising what I did.

 

I took it every day initially, but then reduced it to once a week. I did not take Finasteride on the "off" days. If you are determined to take Dutasteride, but see no obvious benefit after an extended period of taking it, go back to taking Finasteride (only).
