Dutasteride .5mg once a week, Finasteride 1mg 6 days a week?

Asked By:bmurphy710 in Charleston, South Carolina

I've been taking Finasteride 1mg daily for 10 years. Today a reputable doctor suggested I switch to Dutasteride .5mg every other day, and to stop taking Finasteride. Whereas this is all the Wild West of speculation with these things (and Dutasteride has such long half-life), I'm curious what doctors on here think of instead taking Finasteride 1mg 6 days a week and Dutasteride .05mg once a week? I've read all the studies and plenty of anecdotes. Other than "listen to your doctor", your thoughts?
