How to go about introducing Dutasteride?

Before making any changes to your medication regimen, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your specific situation and provide personalized recommendations.

That being said, Dutasteride is a more potent 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor than Finasteride, meaning it may be more effective in promoting hair growth. However, it also carries an increased risk of side effects such as sexual dysfunction and decreased libido.

If you and your healthcare professional decide to switch from Finasteride to Dutasteride, it's recommended to gradually taper off Finasteride while starting on a low dose of Dutasteride to minimize potential side effects. Starting with a dose of 0.5mg Dutasteride once a week for a few weeks before increasing to twice a week, and then possibly to a daily dose if necessary, may be an appropriate approach. However, this is something that should be discussed with your healthcare professional.

It's also worth noting that microneedling and topical minoxidil are both effective treatments for hair loss on their own and may continue to provide benefit even if you decide to discontinue Finasteride or switch to Dutasteride.

Best of luck !
