Can Dutasteride cause hair loss? (Photos)

JC41996
I’m a 22 y/o male who has taken Fin & Minox for 2 yrs. Recently I switched to Dutasteride off label for MPB & still using Minox 2x/day I’ve been reading reports of Dut actually causing hair loss especially along hair line. Is this possible & are these claims valid? MPB has had a significant impact on my self confidence. The emotional toll may be worth the cost. Are hair transplants performed on guys in their 20s? My concern is widows peak/receded temples.
