I have recently switched from Finasteride 1mg to Dutasteride .5mg. I made the switch because I felt like the Finasteride was losing effectiveness. Is Dutasteride equally effective? I have read reports of Dutasteride causing thinning along hairline due to increase in testosterone. Is this true? Will my results improve or diminish with the switch from Finasteride to Dutasteride? A solid answer would be greatly appreciated!
Answer: Dutasteride? Hair restoration options This will need an evaluation to answer effectively. I suggest a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in hair restoration and maintenance. There are some great options for hair restoration and maintenance like prp injections which can stimulate hair growth. Hope this helps.

Answer: Dutasteride 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

Answer: Dutasteride Dutasteride is not equally effective. No. It’s better. There is no well conducted medical study published in a medical journal that shows it worsens hairline like you have described. It improves it in many users.
