Regular Member sloppos Posted June 15, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2021 i've had very successful results with my hair transplant, and since the op i've been taking 1mg finasteride a week (coming up to 20 months now) - a much reduced dosage from the daily finasteride i'd been taking for 12 months prior to the surgery. I reduced my dose down as i'd read that it stays in the system for quite a bit longer than a day. It seems like Dutasteride is just more effective than Finasteride without any more risk/side effect? In which case should i throw away my finasteride supply and just 'upgrade' to Dutasteride and stick to my 1mg/week dose? what do you guys think?

Senior Member makehairgreatagain Posted June 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2021 Have you talked with your doctor who performed the surgery about their thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member 1978matt Posted June 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) An interesting idea. The chart below is useful at showing the effectiveness vs Fin. Suggest to me that you can come off fin (5mg) and within 4 weeks you're back to normal DHT. DUT gives a much slower return. These are daily doses shown below, ending after 24 weeks.
