Asked By:John2701 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I want to use dutasteride but I am very concerned about the side effects that come with the drug, as I have read they are more common in dutasteride I have had no side effects with finasteride (erectile disfunction or gynaecomastia) the two main side effects I am concerned about regarding dutasteride, My question is: as I have responded well with finasteride will I respond the same way to dutasteride .5 mg taken daily ? thank you

I would advise you seek out a hair loss specialist who can order basic labs (that will help determine if you have specific hormone imbalances that you would need to see an endocrinologist for), as well as examine your scalp and evaluate your history in order to determine all the contributing...
I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone which can help with hair regrowth and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
