Hair loss medication - would it be a good idea to switch to oral dutasteride and minoxidil?

Switching from finasteride and topical minoxidil to oral dutasteride and oral minoxidil can be a good option, especially if your current treatment has plateaued. Dutasteride is a stronger DHT blocker than finasteride, as it inhibits both types of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which may offer more protection against hair loss. Oral minoxidil can also provide more consistent hair growth stimulation compared to topical applications.
I recommend a gradual transition to avoid potential side effects or shock shedding. You could slowly introduce oral minoxidil while continuing with finasteride, and then gradually taper off finasteride while introducing dutasteride.
