Dutasteride: How and When To Use It

[@mikecronin6265]

The doctors' belief that less is best when it comes to mediation makes sense. That way one can up the dose when needed throughout the years. The difficult part for me anyway, is dealing with the mind games/dysphoria when dealing with my hair loss. You have to be mindful of the issue, but cannot let hair loss dictate your agenda.

[@stevewise1656]

Great point! It can lead to emotional and not rational medical decisions.

[@sebastiangruenfeld141]

There's a study that suggests that people who start out on a low dose of finasteride are more likely to experience side effects than people who start out with the recommended dose of 1mg.

I think us guys on dutasteride that have the opposite effect (increased libido and sexual function) need to start speaking up too, because I feel like there's plenty of other guys like me where not only did it not harm either of them, but it noticeably improved them from an already good state. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some test level boost that's responsible in guys with certain genetic makeups.

You should talk about higher doses of dutasteride. 0.5mg is the standard dose, but 2.5mg is the more effective dose. I used 1mg of finasteride from 2004 to 2021, and I've been using 0.5mg of dutasteride since May 2021. I added 2.5mg of oral minoxidil shortly after starting dutasteride. I have a lot of anxiety that dutasteride might stop working because that's what happened after 16 years of using finasteride. Some days my hair looks thin, but it might just because I haven't gotten a haircut in 10 months. Having longer hair weighs it down and makes it look thinner. I noticed that when I had shorter hair after my last cut, it had more lift and volume. But it's better to use stronger medication in my case because I was young when I started finasteride. I know that it's much easier to prevent hair loss than it is to regrow hair. The "wait and see" approach is a bad idea. That's why I want to increase my dutasteride dose now.

Once I stopped the medication the side effects were gone in a few days.

But I'm worried Fin on its own won't be strong enough to keep me stable and my hairloss will restart, if I should have to discontinue Dut (f.ex. because of sides or it doesn't work) after using it for some time (6-12 months), because the body has adapted to the higher strength of the Dut+Fin combination?

Lifting weights isn’t going to raise total test levels….not sure where you got that. I’ve been a bodybuilder over 20 years and am very experienced with test and other anabolics. The only way to raise total test levels (significantly) is by using exogenous testosterone. A fertility drug like Clomid can increase natural test production but it’s minimal in comparison, especially after age 35. I feel all men over 40 should be on HRT whether they train or not, just for overall health. HRT is a therapeutic dose, mind you, not a superphysiological dose seen in bodybuilding or powerlifting.

Hello Doctors and all, this might be a dumb question. My doctor prescribed me oral minoxidil 3mg per day and proscar 5gm split in 2 per week. Should I split the finasteride dose into 3, like you usually recommend? I am also afraid that splitting the pill more will make it lose efficacy, since I am breaking the coating of the pill and the active ingredient will contact with stomach acids, before getting absorbed in the intestines. Thank you for the advice all.

[@Asiansxsymbol]

Yes, split the 5mg into 3.

[@ski7422]

So 2 things. 1, I’m not sure why you are cutting it into 3 pieces. You are supposed to cut the 5mg proscar into 4 pieces, which is ~1.25mg each. Then continue with the MWF dosing (assuming you are doing the protocol they said). 2, cutting the pills up will not decrease efficacy. The coat covering the pill is to prevent pregnant women from coming into contact with the powder of the drug (since it’s molecularly small enough to cross the skin barrier)

[@ARKAEA33]

That's an extremely high and unnecessary dose of oral minoxidil, that's almost not even LDOM at that point. You can halve or even cut into a third of that.

[@Ben-nq9bi]

Great video guys - would really appreciate if you did a whole video focused on patients in your practice where you have added one Dutasteride 0.5 a week to Finasteride 6 days a week, and what to expect (regrowth, timescale, & shedding)... I find a lot of people are interested in this and there isn't too much reliable info. A lot of scaremongers claim it can cause massive shed / ruin hairlines etc.. If you could do that that would be very helpful to a lot of us eager to try it and take the plunge to save our hair.. Thanks

Would all hair loss that started in the teenage years be classified as aggressive?

[@zadman0447]

I think it’s more about the type of hair loss you have. If it’s a little bit of hairline recession you’ll find a lot of guys have that. If (like me) your having rapid noticeable thinning all over your head from the hairline to the crown that would be aggressive. To be fair any hair loss in the teen years is to be deemed somewhat uncommon.

Bad idea, it’s the Nuke option, always start with Fin before Dut, Dut is no joke and can seriously eff you up.

How could you not believe high test causes hair loss? Every bodybuilder goes bald unless they have the lucky DNA that has low effect on their hair.. it's like the biggest side effect of testosterone usage.

[@salemalk8474]

Its been well known that DHT aswell as T eats up your hair, prolly one of the reasons why women in their 60s and 70s usually have a lil bit of thinning. And why people who nuked their DHT still had hairloss. A little test over decades goes a long way. But in the end, the DHT will eat your hair a lot faster than the T, its more potent. Not sure what has happened there, perhaps a bad timing and it wouldve happened either way. Dont forget that your hair keeps on getting smaller, at some point its done, a marathon of accumulation. Finasteride and Dutasteride dont stop hairloss completely.

[@DackDavenport]

Keep taking 0.5 and carry on. Stick with the dosage and you will be fine.

[@ads94116]

switch to 0.5 and keep taking it every single day, the body will adjust, and you will be more than fine, take zinc, workout and try to have a balance lifestyle, it's just a temporary imbalance of estrogen and testosterone, with dutasteride your testosterone will rise, and it can temporarily turn into some estrogens. study confirmed that sides go away with continuous use and remember that the nocebo effect is also documented by studies so either way you will be fine. If you have doubts watch the youtube channel haircafe.
