Regular Member 12345 Posted May 13, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 13, 2023 I'm late to this topical dutasteride game, so forgive me if these questions are too newbie. But can dut really work topically to inhibit the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors on the scalp and not have to go systemic to lower DHT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted May 13, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2023 In theory, yes. But there’s no solid evidence. Anecdotally, I’ve been on it a few months. No side effects, hair feels better, but hard to say for sure. At worst, I think it’s maintaining my hair, at best, seems to thicken some thinning areas. I feel a noticeable difference between the fin and dut. I do believe side effects can occur more with finasteride because it absorbs more easily. Dut absorbs slower and it doesn’t penetrate as deep due to the dalton size (theoretically). I think dut is the best topical on the market, though, CosmeRNA just came out, so that may be a contender.
