Senior Member SugarHighs Posted December 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 24, 2012 Awesome, man. It's nice that you were able to get your doctor to prescribe this. I had to order GSK Avodart from overseas (UK.) I have some Dr Reddy's dutas from inhousepharmacy, and the general consensus is that this is legitimate, but I'm sold on the genuine article.

Regular Member calvus Posted December 24, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 24, 2012 I see this study was conducted in Australia - which is where I've recently emigrated to. Are GPs in Australia currently willing to prescribe Avodart for hair loss? My new GP here didn't mention it, he just wrote me a prescription for generic finasteride 5mg with instructions to cut the tablets in quarters.

bezgin Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I found the first two pages of the publication online free. Attached is the page that shows the pictures from the study.

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted January 3, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted January 3, 2013 Think I might give this a go. Dr Feller wouldn't touch my crown due to my age and potential shock loss, so I'm thinking this could be the way to go for me to boost the crown and mid scalp up a bit. The HT should sort out the hairline, but I could do with a bit extra back there - mainly due to bright lights. Anyone got any reports on how it worked for their crown/mid scalp? 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.

My new GP here didn't mention it, he just wrote me a prescription for generic finasteride 5mg with instructions to cut the tablets in quarters. Well, I've partly answered my own question ... today I asked my GP about Avodart (dutasteride) and he said he was reluctant to prescribe it for hair loss because he didn't know enough about it. He suggested I find a trichologist or hair specialist and see if they were prepared to prescribe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SugarHighs Posted January 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted January 18, 2013 What do the drug manufacturers say about taking these two drugs together. Is it safe? One of the counter-indications of Dutasteride is to NOT take it with Propecia. So I am not sure how the docs in this study reconciled that. They may have said "**** it," or had the patients willingness to be a guinea pig, or some combination of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Faizy1992 Posted February 5, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well I did give a try to fin for 1 month but due to horrible sides i stopped it. I felt i had nothing down there (feeling embarrassed) and believe me i had no stress or hype about its hype as i was very confident as the effects will go once stopped so why not take the risk ? In the case of Avodart, can't I try this ? As i'm not in propecia and it looks like its a combination therapy. Btw I'm new to this forum and this is my 2nd post !

Senior Member SugarHighs Posted February 6, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2013 If fin gave you sides, then Avodart will knock you on your ass! IMO, avodart is 10X stronger than fin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member wayek Posted March 1, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted March 1, 2013 how do you get dutasteride? I live in Canada so 4rx.com is out of the question for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Modenese Posted March 4, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted March 4, 2013 ive been doing this for 10 weeks now and im impressed, hair feels in great condition and feels and looks much thicker. only side ive noticed is increased urination. The increased urination might be the start of prostititis. The prostate becomes sore, tender and when it comes under any pressure from your bladder you feel like you have to pee. I know about the condition because I developed it on fin and wound up seeing a specialist. For me it started gently and I ignored it. Then it got bad quite quickly. I became unable to sleep properly - wanting to pee every 2 hours. Take it easy 4800+ grafts, Dr Bisanga, Brussels, Oct 2012 My Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
