community FYI: Amazon one gives DUT prescriptions.
Dutasteride can be obtained through Amazon for $13.60 a month with Prime, and some users prefer it over finasteride due to its effectiveness and similar side effects. Finasteride is also available for $16 for a 3-month supply, and some users report no side effects, while others experience issues like tenderness and swelling.
community No, Finasteride as a treatment for MPB was not an "accident"
Finasteride was intentionally developed to treat BPH and later approved for male pattern baldness (MPB) due to its 5AR inhibition effects. The delay in MPB approval was due to concerns about off-label use for female hirsutism and the prioritization of treating a more debilitating condition.
