Why is Finasteride/Dutasteride not working for me, and should I stay on it?

Hello,Dutasteride theoretically has more potency for hair preservation than Finasteride but a higher side effect profile as well.  The use of dutasteride for hair loss is an off-label use according to the FDA.  Typically regrowth of both agents occurs in areas where the hair is miniaturized and not where slick baldness occurs.  Consider the use of regenerative techniques such as PRP and others and the use of nutraceuticals such as Nutrafol which have a much better side effect profile.Best, Dr. Anil Shah

This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

In my opinion,There are reports of minoxidil as well as dutasteride losing Effectiveness over time. Furthermore, dutasteride is only 85% effective in blocking DHT  I would consider adding low level laser, PRP or a nutraceutical.  Visit a hair loss expert and get an assessment and assistance with your treatment plan.
