What is it?
Dutasteride inhibits both Type 1 and Type 2 5-alpha reductase enzymes, blocking DHT production more completely than finasteride (which only inhibits Type 2). This makes it more potent for hair loss but also requires more careful management.
How is it taken or used?
Daily oral capsule, typically 0.5–2.5mg. Some protocols use once-weekly higher doses for reduced systemic exposure.
Who might it be appropriate for?
Men who have had suboptimal response to finasteride, or those with more aggressive hair loss patterns.
What to expect
Stronger arrest of hair loss than finasteride in clinical studies. New growth reported in a higher percentage of patients.
Side effects and safety
Similar to finasteride: possible reduced libido or ejaculate volume. Side effects are reversible on discontinuation. Labs may be monitored.
