Senior Member irishsailor Posted May 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi, just wondering if anyone regretted not going straight for DUT rather than trying propecia first?

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted May 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2012 What would make someone regret this? I've been on propecia for 2 years now, should I switch? What are the reason for going straight onto DUT? Infact, for the uninformed like myself, what is DUT? 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week. Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the reason for going straight onto DUT? Infact, for the uninformed like myself, what is DUT? Dutasteride or brand name 'Avodart'. In short, it is another drug used to treat the prostate but is also thought to be more effective than finasteride in preventing MPW. Personally I wouldn't touch the stuff unless it was approved for hairloss treatment. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted May 21, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted May 21, 2012 I would only use DUT if Propecia didn't really work out for me. Many men maintain their heads of hair with Propecia and would never really need to consider DUT. I say it's a last resort. Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
