    I know, a lot of hair care channels know what they’re talking about for healthy hair, but when it comes to loss it’s literally just “dht bad” because they haven’t ever dealt with hair loss. I don’t blame them - I wouldn’t look into hair loss if I wasn’t incredibly susceptible to it - but it’s risky business not telling them the whole story, because blocking dht reduction A: isn’t going to solve hair loss, and B: if fin doesn’t work, it gets people from finasteride to dutasteride without knowing that if you don’t have the t score of 1000 gorillas you might as well schedule your own breast reduction surgery a year in advance

    What’s your thoughts about dutasteride and finasteride and the PSA blood test for prostate cancer? I have read that both drugs can make the PSA test slightly more accurate. I have also read that there is a slight possibility for an increased risk in a more aggressive cancer in the prostate. I have been on 1mg finasteride for several years to maintain my hair level and thinking about switching to dutasteride.

    I have also been taking dutasteride 0.5 mg daily for the last 10 months as per the doctor prescribed me. I was also prescribed minoxidil 10, but I stopped using it after 2-3 months because it was irritating my scalp due itching and dryness. Although, my hairfall has been reduced significantly, but there is no any improvement in the hairline as my it is just at the same point where I started the treatment. I think I should not have discontinued minoxidil. But I am satisfied that atleast I am not experiencing further hairloss.

    I've been taking 1mg Finasteride daily for around 4.3 years. I'm NW 2 with no crown thinning. Just a receded hairline. For the first 2 years, Finasteride had worked beautifully in preventing further loss. But at 3.5 years of taking Finasteride, I've noticed my hairline thinning ever so slowly once again. So I'm now taking Dutasteride. I've also been using a high strength Minoxidil for 4.3 years which I still use today.

    Dutasteride only blocks about 93% DHT and stays in your system for a long time when it reaches a steady state in your blood by taking .5mg per day for three of four weeks.A single dose of .5mg has a half life of about 2 or 3 days. One .5mg Dutasteride per week will block about as much DHT as 1mg of finasteride every day.

    I'm 34 and have been on a finasteride / minoxidil combo since I was about 19 or so. Tons of baldness on both sides of my family, and I'm fairly confident that it's been my usage of these products that have helped me preemptively retain my full head of hair. That being said, I have noticed gradual decaying of certain gains (whereas in previous years this had not been the case). I'll probably always be the harshest judge of my own appearance, but objectively I do take comfort knowing that I'm doing all I can. I have generally spoken directly to my primary care provider about finasteride, although I've also spoken to a dermatologist in the past. Any recommendations on the type of physician that would know most about the effects of dutasteride?

Let me also clarify that in the past couple of years, I have started to see somewhat gradually diminishing effectiveness -- the hair at the corners of my hairline has begun to noticeably recede, and I tend to see more shedding than I'd like. I always want to use products that are marked and regulated as safe, so in addition to specialty shampoo, I am researching things like dutasteride & nanoxidil.

After years of "minoxidil foam in the front and back," I increasingly felt curious about nanoxidil's claims about it being beneficial for both front & back scalp usage (whereas minoxidil is apparently only good on the back, despite my using it in all areas). So, I took the plunge and ordered some nanoxidil. For the past month, I have been taking a blended approach of "nanoxidil in the front; minoxidil in the back." Other than the routine taking a few minutes longer, I've been satisfied thus far. No side effects (aside from some scalp initial "tingling" which dissipates after a minute or two). TBH I was not crazy about the "studies" that have purportedly been done for nanoxidil -- the "journal articles" seem to be a bit more like glorified MS Word documents, and there don't appear to be that many, at least not available to me. That being said, the product is well reviewed and discussed enough that I decided to give it a try. I think I've generally noticed less shedding, but will continue to evaluate it over the next two months as well. Right now, I am leaning towards continuing it, and will remain patient, open, and optimistic :)

    is it normal to not experience any sheds with finasteride but lots with dutasteride 11 weeks with dutasteride addition first 6-8 weeks lots of shedding it has decreased lots, looks worse than baseline lots, i have long hair but shedding lots of short hairs like 3-6 inches vs 12-18 the rest, are they improving or is it to late for those hairs, i am thinking 3-6 months needed for every new medications so i'll wait for the 6 months mark for dutasteride addition, then asses if i want low dose oral minoxidil added.

    Can you talk about the effect of finasteride on neurosteroids like allopregnanolone and the use of finasteride in people with existing depression? Is it safe to use finasteride whilst being treated for depression with an SSRI or SNRI antidepressant (given the sexual dysfunction side effects of such medications)? This information would benefit a lot of people as depression is a very common illness. Do you have any patients who use finasteride who also take antidepressant medication? Do they tend to experience more side effects?

    I was about to dump 15mg of Proscar (3x tablets) in Minoxidil until someone told me about the filler coating. The question that I would have: when adding 15mg of Finasteride, wouldn't I create some form of metastable super-saturated solution, which - under certain circumstances - might destabilize? May crushing pills and then adding all of it with fillers into Minoxidil solution cause some problems? One of my biggest concerns are the fillers. Might they interact with the Minoxidil molecules? Might they destabilize the solution? Might they form chemical complexes with Minoxidil?

    My advice is do not mix finasteride with minoxidil. Everyone would be using finasteride topically if it worked that way. You've got several things to consider, including if finasteride itself is even soluble in the minoxidil-based solution, and even if it is, if has any topical effect whatsoever. If you should experience results, I'd wager it's from the finasteride being absorbed into your system, that I gather you're not in favor of taking. I suggest you try Nizoral 2% shampoo three times a week alongside your minoxidil. Look it up, there's evidence to show it helps.

I rewatched this video today and it answered a question I’ve had for the past few months i.e., does more testosterone equal great hair loss...which from this video it doesn’t because it’s not the testosterone that shrinks hairs, it’s the higher levels of the 5AR enzyme converting that testosterone. My question now is, does increased levels of testosterone also increase the amount of the 5AR enzyme? So glad I watched this either way. Thanks!

    Well thanks for asking Yayat. Well that’s not a straightforward answer as all patients are different in terms of aggressiveness of hair loss. Most patients will be fine with only Finasteride. For those few patients (the 14%) with more aggressive hair loss non responsive to Finasteride we would consider Dutasteride. Now I prefer to titrate the dose. Now this means I would prefer to start low and progress the dose from there depending on the hair loss response we can achieve. It may be the case that only 1 capsule per week is all that’s required to bring back control of the hair loss. If it is not we can add a further dose per week and reassess accordingly. I hope I have been able to answer your question and wish you all the best. Dr Wilkie.

    I'm not a doctor, so this is my two cents, just take it properly, and if your doctor aren't okay with that, I'd be surprised,. It's be like me with my out of control blood pressure that a maximum dose of lisinopril isn't working for, now if he saying "here, take this lisinopril three times a week and one or two olmesartan on the weekends, I'd think he's lost his mind, and I'd say could you give me my lisinopril but with diltiazem, BOTH of which I'd take daily. You're playing a game where you don't know the outcome. When you combine the two drugs, you increase your chance of side effects, because they're different substances, but not different classes of drugs, they work the same way, so that's one thing. Another is simply popping a Propecia everyday would be more reliable and effective in my non-medical opinion which you should not take. Now, if you find taking that amount normally isn't working for you, once again, you could just ask your doctor for the standard dose of Avodart. I've nread about people doing the opposite of you, they take 2.5 mg or 5 pills of Avodart a day, obviously they're importing illegally from India, but these are otherwise educated people. It started out okay for them, then they got these weird rashers after about a month that wouldn't go away for yet many more months. Don't experiment with drugs, always a bad long-term solution.

    I Got a question. Been on fin for a year and it shows it only Got better, with No side effects. So i started dutasteride and i want to know if this wil go further on the Finasteride Or needs to starts the cycle over. Also is it true that after 2 years No hair will grow back?
