The user shared their experience transitioning from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss treatment. They discussed the effectiveness and side effects of both medications.
Finasteride works by reducing DHT, which helps stop hair miniaturization. The user is on finasteride and believes it works due to its effect on growth factors and DHT reduction.
Finasteride doesn't work, but dutasteride is effective despite side effects. The discussion focuses on the effectiveness of dutasteridemesotherapy for hair loss.
A user increased their dutasteride dose to 3mg daily after two years but experienced significant hair loss. They also use RU58841 and minoxidil and are concerned about whether the loss is due to shedding or another issue like telogen effluvium.
A user experienced increased hair density loss after 4 months on dutasteride combined with finasteride. They are also using topical dutasteride with azelaic acid and alfatradiol but cannot tolerate antiandrogens like RU58841 due to headaches.
The user is considering mixing 15mg of dutasteride with 60ml of castor oil for mesotherapy (micro-needling) to treat hair loss. They are asking if this method is viable.
The user experienced severe side effects when using topical Dutasteride and RU58841 together and is considering using them at different times of the day. They are seeking advice on whether this approach might reduce side effects.
Topical dutasteride may be effective for hair loss by staying in the scalp and minimizing bloodstream absorption, potentially improving hair results and reducing side effects. The user seeks advice on its effectiveness.
A user experienced dry, brittle hair after starting dutasteride and considered switching back to finasteride. Another user advised that the dryness is temporary and shared positive results with dutasteride and oral minoxidil after several months.
The conversation is about the effectiveness and safety of using 2.5mg of Dutasteride for hair loss. Users discuss the high scalp DHT suppression rates but caution against high doses due to potential side effects and recommend consulting a doctor.
