    switching from fin to dut advice

    What's the best way to make the switch?
    I had no side effects on propecia apart from bad hairline thinning in the corners.

    Is dut better on the hairline?

    What's the most reliable cheapest place to get it online that delivers to the UK?

    What do you guys think of half a dut pill every 2 days?

    Plan on doing this for money reasons as propecia cost me lots

    1 0.5mg Dut capsule a week= .07mg
    2 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .14mg
    3 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .21mg
    4 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .28mg
    5 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .35mg
    6 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .42mg
    7 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .5mg

    There were studies that compared 0.5mg>0.3mg>0.1mg Dutasteride. 0.5mg was the strongest then (if we are excluding 2.5mg every week) it was 0.3mg, and finally 0.1mg. I would suggest taking Dutasteride 0.5mg four times a week; M,T,TH,F

    Yes, Dutasteride is better on the hairline than Finasteride because it is much more powerful.

      I wish you the best man. I've been on fin for year and 7 months and my hair has been shedding since the one year mark. Hairline also receded in this time.

      Keep me updated if you make the switch. I've read bad about both drugs on hairlines so it's a crap shoot.

          I will but money is my main issue here, just not sure if the online route then doctor check ups may be cheaper..

            Yeah I'm located in nj and I remember asking a pharmacist how much dutasteride was when I went to pick up my prescription for fin and they said like $238 for a 30 day supply... I was shocked. It was name brand avodart though.

              Oh and I've just read people's hairlines getting worse on it, that's all. If you type into google, "dutasteride" on of the suggested searches is killed my hairline lol. However, there are good stories to man. I'm done experimenting myself lol. When my shed started this year, I had pain in my scalp, burning, etc.. And I don't know if it was caused by minoxidil or fin.. I decided to quit minoxidil because I did have a SHIT ton of dandruff.. I'm "alright" at the moment.. Luckily I saved my money because I'm going to just get a transplant to restore and not worry about a creeping hairline anymore.

              Keep in touch man. And best of luck!

                      That is the one main reason i avoided Rogaine lol

                      I had it plastered on my hairline and then heard it is bad for the hairline, causes shedding etc

                      Needless to say i was quickk to wash it off.

                      I'm worried if I just sit back things will get worse but if I jumped on something else it'll get worse quicker. Hairline wise.
                      Everything else is thick on my head, I'm a NW1 I think, but after Fin my left said is really thinned out. badly.

                        Wow, that's crazy because the left side of my hairline/head thinned pretty bad as well on fin. The right side is still thick. I debated dropping fun so many times, but I had to drop minoxidil due to shedding and scalp pain from one of the two. Eventually I figured it had to be topical, but the shedding never quit for 7 months.. Not sure if I'm still shedding of minoxidil gains though. Sucks dude

                            for what it's worth I added dut to my 1mg daily fin about a month ago and haven't really noticed anything different yet.

                            I started with .5 mg 4 times a week for two weeks and have upped it to daily now, hopefully this works..

                              So do you take 1mg Fin and 0.5 mg of dut every day? Is that overkill? Does anyone else have ideas on this? Should you just drop fin and start taking dut lately.

                              I've been on Fin for 7 years. It has maintained my hairline and overall good hair, but I can't help but notice that it's starting thinning diffusely. Not sure if it's a shed or just the slow progression of hairloss. I've been thinking about making the switch to dut but unsure if I should just completely drop fin and start 0.5 mg dut daily or start once or twice a week while continuing to take fin.
