Switching from finasteride to dutasteride can cause significant hair shedding if done abruptly. It's recommended to overlap both treatments and gradually taper off finasteride to minimize shedding.
community Bloodwork reports just came in
A 21-year-old male suffering from male pattern baldness is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, and oral minoxidil. His bloodwork shows normal DHT levels and slightly high testosterone, leading to discussions about the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, the potential impact of finasteride on his DHT levels, and the suggestion to proceed with oral finasteride due to his high testosterone.
community DHT reduction in the scalp for all doses of dutasteride is now available.
Higher doses of dutasteride reduce scalp DHT more effectively than finasteride, but have diminishing returns after 3mg daily and may cause more side effects. Combining dutasteride with topical minoxidil can enhance results, but using both finasteride and dutasteride together is unnecessary.

A user on dutasteride and oral minoxidil for two years has experienced worsening hair loss and an itchy scalp. Suggestions include increasing medication doses, trying other treatments like RU58841, getting a scalp biopsy, and addressing potential inflammation through diet and topical treatments.
community How much DHT causes hair loss ?
