A 23-year-old has been using finasteride 5mg daily since age 19 and added dutasteride 0.5mg twice a week to prevent hairline recession. They report no side effects and credit early treatment for maintaining their hair.
The user is considering starting pyrilutamide before a scheduled hair transplant, having previously used oral minoxidil and finasteride with worsening results. They also tried dutasteride, which worsened their hair and made their skin oily.
After switching from finasteride to dutasteride, the user noticed new hair growth and experienced manageable shedding. They reported feeling great on dutasteride with minimal side effects, using Cialis occasionally for libido issues.

Dutasteride may affect semen parameters but not significantly enough to impact fertility unless baseline fertility is already low. Finasteride and minoxidil are used for hair regrowth, with no side effects reported by one user.
A user increased their dutasteride dosage from 0.5mg to 1mg daily, resulting in a rise in DHT levels from 148 pg/mL to 281 pg/mL, and is considering switching back to finasteride due to continued hair loss. Replies suggest retesting and emphasize the importance of bloodwork before starting treatments.

Dutasteride and finasteride can affect libido differently, with some experiencing increased libido and others decreased libido or erectile dysfunction. Dutasteride may increase testosterone levels but can also cause side effects like liver enzyme changes, while topical finasteride may have fewer sexual side effects.
A new topical treatment, TH07, combining finasteride, latanoprost, and minoxidil, is entering phase III trials with promising early results. Some users express skepticism, noting the treatment uses existing products.

Others shared similar experiences with finasteride and dutasteride, while some reported no side effects, showing varied individual responses.
Pyrilutamide did not show effectiveness in regrowing hair compared to a placebo, but it may still help maintain existing hair by preventing DHT from causing follicle miniaturization. Some users believe it could be beneficial when used with other treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

Dutasteride effectively reduces DHT levels and significantly increases testosterone levels. Users are cautious about adding oral minoxidil due to potential heart issues and are considering dosage adjustments with medical guidance.
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risks of sexual dysfunction for treating androgenetic alopecia. Users experience varying side effects, indicating individual differences in drug reactions.
Hair loss treatments Finasteride and Dutasteride are discussed, with emphasis on their safety and effectiveness. Users share frustration about fear-mongering and side effect discussions, suggesting trust in scientific studies and FDA approval.
Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
