I'm a male who is using Avodart 0.5 mg/day AND Finasteride 1mg/day to battle hair loss. I started taking Avodart about 12 months ago having used Finasteride for 3 years previous. It looked like Avodart was working reasonably ok for me up until about 3 months ago when I started to shed hair quite badly. I have a mild but noticeable itch in my scalp these days as well (although I noticed this upon starting Avodart). Is it possible that the Finasteride is 'competing' with the Avodart ??
