Regular Member Kajoo Posted March 19, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 19, 2021 I have been on fin 0.5mg per day for almost 1 year, and i believe it is not working. My hair is getting worse by the day. I am now considering switching to duta to help maintain what i have till i can afford a hairtransplant. I wanted to ask if anyone here has any experience with duta and if someone has noticed any improvement after switching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted March 19, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2021 You can increase finasteride to 1mg daily. Have you tried that? Dutasteride is more effective since it works on 2 isoforms of 5-alpha reductase whereas finasteride works on only 1 isoform. My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

No i didnt, i have read couple of times that 0.5mg is almost as effective as 1mg. But i will try taking 1mg until i can get dutasteride and see if its going to do something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
