I can't believe it is 2020 and we still do not have a viable cure for hair loss.
Calm down. We have Avodart.
@@randomfullywonderful I think he means completely side effect free. Crushing your DHT can have severe side effects in some
@@DakarEuro mhm, but it can save your sweet, sweet hair follicles.
@@DakarEuro mhm, finasteride has only shown a slow of hair loss, but dutasteride? No evidence that it even allows it. Find a doc willing to script it.
@@DakarEuro Actually, there's no evidence that Avodart stops working. I don't know, they didn't put as much research into it as Propecia, but it does stop working, like after five years.
You gotta love when once in a while on RUclips someone actually knows what they are talking about. Thanks fellas
I know, a lot of hair care channels know what they’re talking about for healthy hair, but when it comes to loss it’s literally just “dht bad” because they haven’t ever dealt with hair loss. I don’t blame them - I wouldn’t look into hair loss if I wasn’t incredibly susceptible to it - but it’s risky business not telling them the whole story, because blocking dht reduction A: isn’t going to solve hair loss, and B: if fin doesn’t work, it gets people from finasteride to dutasteride without knowing that if you don’t have the t score of 1000 gorillas you might as well schedule your own breast reduction surgery a year in advance

Hola amigo Una pregunta. Si después de usar dudasterida 0.5 mg con minoxidil 1 mg por 8 meses y ver que el cabello se sigue perdiendo además de que en vez de engrosarse se sigue poniendo muy fino , es bueno cambiar a finasteride y probar o ya no tendría sentido ?
This video must get a million views !
These doctors explain the situation sooo well 👍
Spot on 👊
Getting on finasteride early at 30 with a NW 1.5 was the best decision I’ve made in my entire life
Good on you.
are you using minoxidil as well?
Any noticeable side effects?
Steve from Texas hows it going so far did you have any mad shedding?
The Hair Loss Show do you get alot of shedding from finasteride?
What you said in the end is so true, A lot of doctors don’t tell you about what you can do to prevent the hair loss, just go straight into making money for themselves
Best advice on the net. These are surgeons people. Listen to this advice. Thanks guys for your time and great advice on all your channels.
My observations:
3:14 There should be two pens there.
Very very useful knowledge shared by these two geniuses. Much appreciated and grateful! Big thanks!
Because of you guys, I am able to start the same for hair loss, Thanks for spreading right knowledge and breaking the myths.
Cheers!!
These videos are very helpful. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Appreciate the comment. Thanks.
thanks to the advise provided by your channel i went ahead and started on finasteride over 6 months ago. I wished i had started soon to be honest. ive had zero side effects and my hair just overall feels healthier and i feel that thinning process has been reversed. earlier my hair felt unhealthy and i used to think it was the shampoo i was using. Thanks for the great work doctors.
How's it going now, 1 yr on?
Any updates
This channel is a Godsend! Keep up the good work. Saudações from Brazil.

Best channel on RUclips hands down! Also wondering about mesotherapy, local finasteride or dutasteride injections to the scalp, any thoughts??
Very valuable information here. Keep it up!
Thanks for that.
Great video. So clear and concise. Do you have any opinions on topical dutasteride?
propecia is so weak.. Dutastercide gave me the results I needed. Feeling like I got my life back. So blessed again! THANKS Dutasteride!
hey I use 0.5 mg everyday and yes my doctor prescribe it for me
@Pretty Boy and I did not get no side effects really except for being extremely horny for the first month but then it went to normal again
@@sasanovak9369 wait so what should I take Fina or dutast
@@SayMyName316 Dut is whats working for me
I have also been taking dutasteride 0.5 mg daily for the last 10 months as per the doctor prescribed me. I was also prescribed minoxidil 10, but I stopped using it after 2-3 months because it was irritating my scalp due itching and dryness. Although, my hairfall has been reduced significantly, but there is no any improvement in the hairline as my it is just at the same point where I started the treatment. I think I should not have discontinued minoxidil. But I am satisfied that atleast I am not experiencing further hairloss.
You guys are increable.I am on Finasteride and Minoxidil ,love your expertise,
You are an amazing Doctors explaining the details of this drugs, thank you for the info form Vancouver Canada.😀
I've been taking 1mg Finasteride daily for around 4.3 years. I'm NW 2 with no crown thinning. Just a receded hairline. For the first 2 years, Finasteride had worked beautifully in preventing further loss. But at 3.5 years of taking Finasteride, I've noticed my hairline thinning ever so slowly once again. So I'm now taking Dutasteride.
I've also been using a high strength Minoxidil for 4.3 years which I still use today.
Any sides?
@@alwiniscoolWhen I was on Finasteride, I had watery seamen. But once the effects of Fin started wearing off, the watery seaman sides wore off too!
Only been on Dutasteride for 5 days and I'm feeling lethargic. But I'm going to carry on for as long as I can to see what happens.
ScottyY2J Im on Dutasteride too and feeling lethargic as well. Had no sides on Fin. Might try Fin daily + one Dut capsule weekly
I have the same situation, ı use finasterid and minoxidil for 2.5 years but ı have still losing hair and ı am thinking to take dudasterid .
@@zek4491 Hey. I've been on Dutasteride for around 13 months now and it has stabilized my hair loss.
I've taken and still take 0.5mg Dutasteride daily since making the switch from Fin. Only side effect I've noticed on Dut is ejaculation issues. Basically I don't bust my nut quickly anymore, which in most respect's is a good thing. Lol.
Hope this helps.
Can you make a video on the shedding that occurs after taking finasteride
My hair started growing just my listening to the soothing voice of you guys.
Great video, guys. Thank you for the info!
Anyone else wondering Finasteride vs Minoxodil? With all of Minoxodil's steps and daily effort, it seems if you are at an early stage of NW 1- 3 that Fin would just be easier and that the side effects of Fin are often overcome with continued treatment or decreased dosages.
Finasteride is more powerful and long term but both put together are ideal.
What’s your thoughts about dutasteride and finasteride and the PSA blood test for prostate cancer? I have read that both drugs can make the PSA test slightly more accurate. I have also read that there is a slight possibility for an increased risk in a more aggressive cancer in the prostate. I have been on 1mg finasteride for several years to maintain my hair level and thinking about switching to dutasteride.
Thanks guys for your time and great advice on all your channels.
Very informative! You answered some questions I had about Dutasteride. Thank you!
Dutasteride only blocks about 93% DHT and stays in your system for a long time when it reaches a steady state in your blood by taking .5mg per day for
three of four weeks.A single dose of .5mg has a half life of about 2 or 3 days. One .5mg Dutasteride per week
will block about as much DHT as 1mg of finasteride every day.
Is this real?
Doctors, what frequency do you normally tell patients to use dutasteride if they use it alone? 3x/week?
Fantastic information and a real full view of what to expect and with some different treatments. I'd really appreciate a video on the whole approach to using medication with transplant and the long lasting effects.
wonderful information- THANK YOU SO MUCH. God Bless you!!
What's the recommended dosage for Dutasteride ?...I know for Finasteride, it's 1mg 3 times a week
I wish I had this podcast 3 or 4 years ago lol. Appreciate the knowledge now anyway, I’m putting it to good use.
Don't beat yourself up. It's always easy to look back in retrospect. Hair loss is a 'journey'. All the best.
Thank you so much for making this video!
All those videos are very informative and it is great that someone can easily take all the info from one source, i dn know whose idea is this, but ur podcasts rock)) I am just curios, stopping one and starting another brand - does it harm the results? let's say - stopping Propecia and starting fin.?
The drug is the same. Certainly after it came off patent. It shouldn't be a problem. Thank you for your kind words. Glad you are enjoying the content. Just finished filming a few more episodes. Will be uploading those soon.
So what happens to the prostate for these hair loss patients using Dutasteride?
How about topical dutasteride? It is has also the upperhand of disproportionally increased DHT (scalp vs bloodstream). Could you weigh in on the topic?
Thank you
These docs do a very good job of explaining the nuances of which patient type makes sense to move over. There are side effects and they both have them. There may be options and these guys even look at 1x fin week w 1x dut wk just in case the results are good w/ o side effects. That's intuitively good medicine.
Thank you for this. I am taking Finasteride and using minoxidil as a Keeps Ambassador. I’m regrowing my hair. I would like to start the dutasteride once a week. I think this will be good. I’m 32 and I want to keep my hair for a while.
Hi, How is the results.
And I red in Google dutasteride is one of main side effect is decrease sex and sperm counf also..is it correct?
Great video guys, very nice explanation.
I wonder what would happen if a person stops or reduces their normal intake or dosage of these medicines ??
Dutasteride is far superior than Finasteride. Finasteride lost its efficacy after 7 years, so my Doctor prescribed Dutasteride. It's been 9 months and my hair came back thicker and stronger. I'm 65, and I have BPH, so I'm killing 2 birds with one stone. Both are vastly improved because of Dutasteride.
Do u take EVERYDAY 0,5 mg/
@@raphaelfernandes5195 -Yes.
@@petermusto3704 Did affect your beard and facial hair, like eyebrowns/ beacuse dutasteride is thinnning my beard
@@raphaelfernandes5195 - Beard is fine, but come to think about it, its thinner on my chin. Dutasteride is much stronger than Finasteride, but it does prevent hair loss, and promotes hair growth because its effective fighting the trash hormone, DHT. However, I wouldn't recommend everyone to take Dutasteride, I'd suggest using Finasteride first. And I would apply Minoxidil everyday regardless of which medication you're using. The success rate is high using this combination in my opinion.
@@petermusto3704 I'm on dut abou 8 months and nothing happend, I will try 1mg per day of DUT
Great information doctors. Thank you so much! I can listen to you two experts talk about hair hours on end.
Thanks Docs. So as Dutasteride is longer lasting in the body, I can use say, twice a week & combine with Fin.
I'm taking finasteride for last 2 years, I think I'm the right person to speak about it.
Finasteride does not have any side effects in my case
I was having stage 1 male pattern baldness and had minor v curve in temple forehead
Result after two years: it gave good results at first year , but on second year I do see some hair loss in crown area and hair thickness is very less
Have you considered taking Minoxidil?? Remember that although Finasteride can potentially regrow your hair, it is mainly used to “Block” further hair loss. Minoxidil works as a stimulant and is proven to regrow your hair, and can also slow your hair loss as well. If you do both of them then that can help you regain ground.
@@CarlosCastro-qc9ov yes I do use minoxidil 10 spray percent parallel daily
Now my doctor suggested me dutasteride
As Vikram Jayaprakash quoted "finasteride won't 100 percent control or prevent Male pattern baldness after few years" it declines
In my case
@@ashvqc how are you

Can you talk about the effect of finasteride on neurosteroids like allopregnanolone and the use of finasteride in people with existing depression? Is it safe to use finasteride whilst being treated for depression with an SSRI or SNRI antidepressant (given the sexual dysfunction side effects of such medications)? This information would benefit a lot of people as depression is a very common illness. Do you have any patients who use finasteride who also take antidepressant medication? Do they tend to experience more side effects?
Would love to hear an answer for that, too.
Ive been on finastride for about a month and Sertaline (anti depression drug) for about a year and I have lost the ability to ejaculate I can still get hard and sexually aroused but can't cum
Austin Sajdowitz dude you should try stopping either 1 and see which is the root of the problem. You try stopping the anti depressant drug first or switching into another one. If the problem still persist, finasteride may be the cause of the problem
Austin Sajdowitz You should speak to your doctor about this. If it is the SSRI causing the problems, they can change your medication to something like bupropion or agomelatine. Did the symptoms begin with the addition of finasteride, or did they begin when you started sertraline?
Or try lowering the does of finasteride to maybe a few times a week
Been following your channel for few days now Vikram and Russell ! Big fan of you and a great content ! you are like my hair gods !

Great job 👏 guys
Great videos! May you please talk about the drugs effects on muscle growth, beard and body hair development or growth please? I have been taking dutasteride daily for over a year and it works but like you said I should have started small as my hair loss wasn't drastic. I am concerned that it has halted my progression of facial hair and my performance physically.
Does it have any side effects?
@@variamente6855 REDUCED libido
I was about to dump 15mg of Proscar (3x tablets) in Minoxidil until someone told me about the filler coating. The question that I would have: when adding 15mg of Finasteride, wouldn't I create some form of metastable super-saturated solution, which - under certain circumstances - might destabilize?
May crushing pills and then adding all of it with fillers into Minoxidil solution cause some problems? One of my biggest concerns are the fillers. Might they interact with the Minoxidil molecules? Might they destabilize the solution? Might they form chemical complexes with Minoxidil?
My advice is do not mix finasteride with minoxidil. Everyone would be using finasteride topically if it worked that way. You've got several things to consider, including if finasteride itself is even soluble in the minoxidil-based solution, and even if it is, if has any topical effect whatsoever. If you should experience results, I'd wager it's from the finasteride being absorbed into your system, that I gather you're not in favor of taking. I suggest you try Nizoral 2% shampoo three times a week alongside your minoxidil. Look it up, there's evidence to show it helps.
Hey, you might want to check out that etude ijpc.com/Abstracts/Abstract.cfm?ABS=4749 apparently there is no bad interaction between the molecules in a topical usage :
_The results from this study suggest that the new hair-loss topical solution may be considered a safe and effective treatment option in male AGA patients._
@@randomfullywonderful People are using finasteride this way and it does work. Also, nizoral does very little. Fine to use as a further treatment but using it on its own or instead of fin or min isnt recommended.
People are using fin this way. Search on RUclips. Fillers are just that - excess materials and they dissolve quite well in both minoxidil and serioxyl.
ty guys for your sincerity
I had more frontal thinning after 1 year on dutasteride as well as in the crown. I had to go back to finasteride. I attempted the switch 2 times with the same results. When I go back to fin, it thickens in the front and regrows hair in my temple region. If you don't get results on Dut 6 months to 1 year I'd be skeptical. Maybe our genetics just aren't meant for it? IDK. Finasteride works for me in that time frame.

Hi doctor, how many % of your patients are on topical Finasteride in your clinic?
I’ve read that Dutasteride MW is 528 Dalton and generally MW for skin absorbtion is below 500 Dalton.
Can we use topical Dutasteride and is it efficient considering MW >500 Da?
I continued to lose ground on finasteride at a slow pace and it eventually picked up. My doctor switched me from finasteride 1mg daily to dutasteride 1/2 mg once a week. He did not keep me on finasteride and I’m still not seeing a slow down in hair loss after 5 months. Should I wait longer, get back on fin as well, or ask to up my dut dosage?
Sorry to be vague, but I there is not enough info for me to give you an informed opinion. You really need to see someone who is skilled at managing your hair loss.
update
I started to notice my hairline becoming thinner around age 16. I am currently 21 and with a Norwood 3 level of balding. I have been on finasteride for over a year, starting with 3 pills a week but eventually moved onto 7 pills a week. My speed and aggressiveness of my hair loss has reduced but I’m still experiencing a significant amount of hair loss. Should I start duasteride?
My friend, Avodart works better for hair loss, but you can't just ask these men, you've got to ask your doctor. If they reply to you, they can get in trouble if you have a bad reaction.
update please
I'd be careful taking fin or dut at such a young age. Dht is an important hormone for the development of male characteristics and vitality.
Sir, iam 21 and and taking 1 mg daily from 3 month... What do u think about that?
Will it decrease effectiveness over the time?
is it normal to not experience any sheds with finasteride but lots with dutasteride 11 weeks with dutasteride addition first 6-8 weeks lots of shedding it has decreased lots, looks worse than baseline lots,
i have long hair but shedding lots of short hairs like 3-6 inches vs 12-18 the rest, are they improving or is it to late for those hairs,
i am thinking 3-6 months needed for every new medications so i'll wait for the 6 months mark for dutasteride addition, then asses if i want low dose oral minoxidil added.
Hey Drs, if I suffer side effects from your advised 3x 1mg per week, is it better for me to go down to 2mg per week? And if so, would I still get the benefits of finasteride enough to suppress dht levels to stop further hairloss? Or is not even worth taking it if I’m only going to take 2mg? Thanks for the advice docs, you guys are awesome !
How are you doing
You recommend Finasteride at 1mg 3 times a week, which is less than the prescribed dosage. What's your recommended dosage for Dutasteride?
I have the same question
Me too
@The Hair Loss Show
@CVK 1mg a day which is 7 mg a week. However, these doctors have 25 years of experience and suggest 3 times a week 1 mg or splitting a 5mg tablet in 4 and take three of those.
CVK No, 1mg 3 times/week or 0.5 everyday of propecia is just as effective as using 1mg everyday
Hello Dr. What about dutasteride as injections or better known as infiltration? Would you recommend this method?
Does this form is better to avoid side effects like depression or mood changes?

@@redlightning9130 UPDATE SIR
This guys are so legit. I’ve watched almost every video they’ve come out with and the content is so good and direct.
I rewatched this video today and it answered a question I’ve had for the past few months i.e., does more testosterone equal great hair loss...which from this video it doesn’t because it’s not the testosterone that shrinks hairs, it’s the higher levels of the 5AR enzyme converting that testosterone.
My question now is, does increased levels of testosterone also increase the amount of the 5AR enzyme?
So glad I watched this either way. Thanks!
that's a good question. Looking forward to hearing the answer
No, the amount of enzyme is genetically determined
How long should it take to dutasteride on top of finasteride to be effective?
Hi, is mesotherapy an effective treatment for hairloss?
How much dosage you guys recommended for dutasteride?
Well thanks for asking Yayat. Well that’s not a straightforward answer as all patients are different in terms of aggressiveness of hair loss. Most patients will be fine with only Finasteride. For those few patients (the 14%) with more aggressive hair loss non responsive to Finasteride we would consider Dutasteride. Now I prefer to titrate the dose. Now this means I would prefer to start low and progress the dose from there depending on the hair loss response we can achieve. It may be the case that only 1 capsule per week is all that’s required to bring back control of the hair loss. If it is not we can add a further dose per week and reassess accordingly. I hope I have been able to answer your question and wish you all the best. Dr Wilkie.

Heinz Keiter it’s okay dear, this is the shedding phase! It’s replacing the unhealthy hairs
Dude that drug alters your hormone levels. I would suggest not using it while being so young.
Is your hair still receding?
How you doing
Is stop hairloss ?
I'm 34 and have been on a finasteride / minoxidil combo since I was about 19 or so. Tons of baldness on both sides of my family, and I'm fairly confident that it's been my usage of these products that have helped me preemptively retain my full head of hair. That being said, I have noticed gradual decaying of certain gains (whereas in previous years this had not been the case). I'll probably always be the harshest judge of my own appearance, but objectively I do take comfort knowing that I'm doing all I can.
I have generally spoken directly to my primary care provider about finasteride, although I've also spoken to a dermatologist in the past. Any recommendations on the type of physician that would know most about the effects of dutasteride?
Bro may i know your finasteride daily doseage please
@@Abhi-xy9ew Just 1 mg daily. Bear in mind I began using both finasteride & minoxidil when my head of hair was probably 95% in tact (due, in part, to my own proactive anxiety and vanity). Let me also clarify that in the past couple of years, I have started to see somewhat gradually diminishing effectiveness -- the hair at the corners of my hairline has begun to noticeably recede, and I tend to see more shedding than I'd like. I always want to use products that are marked and regulated as safe, so in addition to specialty shampoo, I am researching things like dutasteride & nanoxidil.
@@eliasb22 It's probably you getting older so don't panic too much, if it has been working out good for you all these years then continue. Have you thought of starting dutasteride? It has been officially used for mpb in South Korea and Japan and off label worldwide.
@@redlightning9130 Thanks for the reply -- much appreciated. That is a good point. While I am satisfied with how these products have helped me, I am certain that aging plays a part for sure. As for dutasteride, I have watched some of this channel's videos on it, and am open to it considering its usage in other countries. Not sure how my physician will feel about it, but worth looking into for sure! Thanks :)
Oh, also -- I made a big switch. After years of "minoxidil foam in the front and back," I increasingly felt curious about nanoxidil's claims about it being beneficial for both front & back scalp usage (whereas minoxidil is apparently only good on the back, despite my using it in all areas). So, I took the plunge and ordered some nanoxidil. For the past month, I have been taking a blended approach of "nanoxidil in the front; minoxidil in the back."
Other than the routine taking a few minutes longer, I've been satisfied thus far. No side effects (aside from some scalp initial "tingling" which dissipates after a minute or two). TBH I was not crazy about the "studies" that have purportedly been done for nanoxidil -- the "journal articles" seem to be a bit more like glorified MS Word documents, and there don't appear to be that many, at least not available to me. That being said, the product is well reviewed and discussed enough that I decided to give it a try. I think I've generally noticed less shedding, but will continue to evaluate it over the next two months as well. Right now, I am leaning towards continuing it, and will remain patient, open, and optimistic :)
Hi,
Which is best finasteride 1 mg daily or dutastaride 0.5 mg weekly twice? Iam 40 years male.Bald head started already
for someone who is in their twenties or mid twenties with diffuse hair loss at the crow and thinning at the top and near the temples what would you most likely pick
Thanks a lot for all these valuable videos!
Regarding the reducing dht therapies (by blocking the type I/II 5alfa reductase enzyme), how would you evaluate saw palmetto (320mg with 80%-90% of fatty acids per day)?
For your 1% of patients that you prescribe dutasteride to, how often do they take it?
He described it, once a week while using Finastride.
@@e.o9470 how do u know
What I think is the most important is food. If you eat garbage, no medication will help. You need nutrients to make you and your hair healthy. Why we bald is because our ancestors started eating food that isn't designed for humans like grains. Native americans ate buffalo and based on animal fat and they had amazing hair and were tall.
Just looked up side effects for dutasteride (avodart). They’re significant. If you’re younger, it could ruin your libido. Older men must be concerned with potential heart issues such as palpitations and prostrate cancer. Nothing comes without side effects. Lowest dosages should be agreed upon initially. But the fact remains that dutasteride blocks both forms of 5-alpha reductase. You have to take something post surgery to prevent further loss. If it doesn’t have sides, I’d take it.
The side effects of dutasteride are pretty much the same as finasteride so it’s still safe
@@tomberver1075Safe for the most part but no there is definitely still risk of side effects. I've taken both fin and dut and had side effects on dut
What about topical finastride??????
This very recent study published in January 2020 suggests topical finasteride is a safe and effective medication for hair-loss, although not so effective as you'd expect with oral form.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32023218
Unfortunately you can't read the whole process as it is for the moment under license and you'd have to buy it, but I invite you to search for others studies on pubmed about topical usage. Every of those I encountered showed positive results.
i've been on finastride 1mg for about a year no side effects besides water semen..
Didn't help hair regrowth but i think stopped it from furthering
Should i experiment with the dusterstride to see if it helps with REgrowth?
Nothing will result in REgrowth.
Stability is key!
The Hair Loss Show so you don’t think a trip to the dermatologist to try dutasteride will make any impactful changes from my current 1 year on finastride 1mg?
I also hv the same question
How it now
Do you have patients on fin and dut or dut allone which still loose ground?
Thank you for the valuable content!
Hmm. Thought there were three 5-AR enzymes Finasteride covers 2-3 and dutastride covers all three but type 1 only regulates sebum regulation in the skin and has too weak a binding affinity to effect hair follicles. I understand type 2 was the primary binding enzyme?
Been on Finasteride for two years: the first one I experienced stability and also regrowth, but then I lost all the benefits. Should I take Dutasteride once a week?
Antonio You probably just got used to your hair as your new baseline, it cannot get better forever eventually you reach a peak. Then you slowly bald as it does not fully stop hair loss forever.
age?

@@basejumperdx4573 NW3A, when I started treatment I almost lost all the forelock, after ten months of minoxidil and finasteride I almost became NW3. After the year mark the forelock miniaturized a little bit but it's still better than the start
Can I take Dutasteride 3 times a week like Finasteride?
Noo i think you shouldn't it is a heaby drug you should take 2
Hi sir. I m 30 years old and i am using finasteride alone for more than 1.5 years. My hair fall has slowed down a little, but not completely. Have some bald area visible out slowly, but no hair growth. Can i combine finasteride daily with dutasteride once a week? Plz suggest me something.
I started that thing my hair shedding starts again? Did you try that?
You guys should look up bicalutamide. It is much more effective than both, however it has a high rate in gyno, which can be surgically fixed, unlike full blown baldness. Substituting a problem with a fixable one.
f rad It can be taken the same as finasteride in terms of long-term usage. However, you must stop taking it a month before conceiving, as it has a theoretical risk of male-birth defects.
f rad I dont take bicalutamide. But due to the body's response, estrogen's levels will significantly increase, which will lead to hair regrowth to some extent (amount of regrowth varies between individuals).
What you should know for certain is that bicalutamide (taken at the correct doses for your body) will stop androgenic hair loss in ~99% of cases, with minimal/no sexual side effects.
You are effectively blocking the androgenic part of the receptors of all your body, rendering all hair-loss inducing hormones virtually ineffective in allowing hair loss to continue.
But by no means you should take bica at first. Go on finasteride. Give it one/two years (+minoxidal TWICE per day). If you know 100% for certain that finasteride is not slowing down your hair loss to an acceptable rates (by taking regular photos in the exact same lighting/angle/camera), then replace finasteride with dutasteride. Still, if it doesnt work out for you, start taking bicalutamide at 100 mg/day in addition to dutasteride. This is where your hair loss should and will stop. If you experience ay this point further hair loss, be certain that it is not androgenic.
Hope this helps. If you have any questions, I'll be more than glad to help. :P
You're on an already powerful regimen. Make sure to give it time. Patience is the name of the game.
As for RU, I am not that well versed. If it is affordable to you and able to get it from a legit source, use it. However, I've heard most guys get it from Kane (?) which many have shown skepticism.
For minox, yes you should use it twice per day, as you seem to be targeting the regrowth of your hair. I always prefer to use meds like they were used in the studies and trials, to expect the same chances of success.
If I were in your place, I would not get RU. It seems not that much effective on average, as all topicals do. I dont think someone could cure hair loss with topicals only, hence why I always prefer oral (at the downside of potential side effects).
My advice? You can get RU no problem. However give your current regimen a decent amount of time before adding/changing. How long you've been on duta+minox? How much is your hair loss rate?
I bet you wouldnt have lost that much more on fin. Now that you're stable on your current regimen, dont change/add anything until it worsens. If it aint broken, dont fix it. Good luck.
Dutasteride is best! Propecia did nothing for me
Do you have a cheap source to buy from?
What are your side effects
@@MrSamwiseable what happens to ya?
no brain fog for me ever.. You're just sensitive person
0.5 mg per day right?
Please reply.....
Dutasteride stay for a long time in body. So is it ok to take dutasteride once in a month or twice. To reduce the side effects.
depends on what you mean by "ok"
Hey guys, could you talk about future treatments that may be available to people in the next 5 years or so? Please cover more on future treatments I beg you, currently what we have is good but I feel it only works for some ppl considering fin does not bode well with a lot of individuals.
The recommended dose for finasteride is 1mg daily (7mg weekly), but you like to take that down to 3mg weekly. But what about dutasteride, the widely know the recommendation is 0,5mg daily (3,5mg weekly).... Is it also possible to lower the dose here? My doctor is recommending dutas and I would like to like your approach of starting with a lower dose and finding the sweet spot. Please let me know! I a 30 year old guy with slight balding around the crown, and the temples.. but people seeing me on the street would not classify me as a balding guy at all yet.
Same here hwz it going bro?
Hi. I am a diffuse thinner and suffer from a sever kind of male pattern baldness. Started with 1mg finasteride when I was 15 and it managed to control my hairloss until i was 26, when i switched to a daily dosis of dutasteride 0.5 mg, wich i have been taking since then. I am 36 now and after 10 years i haven't experienced any sort of side effects (had several blood tests to confirm it). Do I need to be worried about this regimen or can i just keep it? Thanks
wow, and which treatment is better, finasteride or dutasteride/ and did this drugs affect your beard and facil hairs/
I used finasteride for over 20 years but it stopped working. Now I'm on dutasteride and it is working but I'm terrified of possible side effects. :(
I can tell you that I used dutasteride for 8 years...The side effect I experience has been that my sperm motility was reduced a lot...so I suspended to take it for a couple of years and the condition now is acceptable but not still great...
@@giuseppepanessa9219 What did it do to your hair loss
Dear how long the maximum time you will notice inprovement for shedding
I am now on month 6 and still there some shedding not stop totally i don’t know if I should to change to dutasteride after delaying
Please reply as soon as possible
Most hair restoration docs prescribe Finasteride without knowing which 5-Alpha-Reductase enzyme the patient has and seems ridiculous. That’s somewhat analogous to prescribing the wrong drug for X disease, because they didn’t run the appropriate tests.
Therapy of 6 days 1mg finasteride and 0.5 mg dutasteride on 7 days is better option or should i increase dose of dutasteride
