community Dermatologist denied prescribing oral dutasteride because it’s not FDA approved BUT did prescribe ORAL minoxidil 😂
A 22-year-old male has been using oral finasteride for a year with no improvement in hair loss and was denied dutasteride by a dermatologist due to FDA approval issues but was prescribed oral minoxidil instead. The user is seeking advice on whether to switch to dutasteride, continue finasteride, or add minoxidil.
community Why are more people not using RU58841
People are not using RU58841 for hair loss because it's not FDA approved, lacks long-term safety data, and is difficult to obtain and verify. They prefer FDA-approved treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, ketoconazole shampoo, and microneedling.
community Why is everyone not directly advised Dutasteride?
Dutasteride is less commonly prescribed for hair loss because it is not FDA-approved for this purpose, unlike finasteride, which is more accessible and preferred due to fewer side effects. Dutasteride may be more effective in reducing DHT but has a longer half-life and potentially more significant side effects.
community Why do you take finasteride instead of dutasteride and also vice versa
Finasteride is preferred for its shorter half-life and FDA approval, while dutasteride is seen as more effective but not FDA-approved for hair loss. Many combine these with minoxidil for improved results, though side effects and effectiveness vary.
