community Research Backed Dutasteride Simulator (Serum/Scalp DHT included for all doses)
A dutasteride simulator predicts that daily 0.5 mg dosing results in higher DHT suppression compared to less frequent dosing. Twice-weekly dutasteride may be as effective as finasteride 5 mg, providing a balance between efficacy and ease of use.
community Efficacy and Systemic DHT Suppression of Topical Finasteride vs Dutasteride
Topical dutasteride may have limited absorption due to its higher molecular mass compared to finasteride, potentially affecting its efficacy in suppressing DHT locally. Microneedling might enhance dutasteride absorption, possibly offering stronger local DHT suppression with fewer systemic effects.
community 5 years post hair transplant, 3 months on minoxidil only
The user had a hair transplant five years ago and started using minoxidil three months ago. Commenters recommend adding finasteride or other DHT blockers to prevent further hair loss and maintain results.
