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
