I took branded Proscar for 1.5 years now I switch to 0.75 mg dut on average daily. My experience has been maintenance but no regrowth. I may consider taking two duts daily if I don't see any regrowth. I have aggressive loss, so I want to suppress DHT to sub-castrate levels.
No adverse effects though, except for acne, on and off. Which is curiously an androgenic side effect. I personally am surprised more people do not see androgenic side effects, given that Testosterone rises on this drug. Here is a dose ranging study on dutasteride:
I take generic dutas in the morning every day. At night I alternate between branded Proscar and branded Avodart. Just in case my Dutas is fake.

Thanks, you have done your studying i guess, seems like a hardcore regime - but like you say, you want to suppress it to the max. Surprised you havent seen any re-growth as yet? Thought guys on Dutas generally did?

Only started the new regime about 2 months ago as I felt I started to thin again. May Allah/Zeus/Krishna/Sweet Baby Jesus be with me.

Julio, I appreciate the rigor of your post. Good stuff. I read through it, looked up a few definitions, etc. I'm not a scientist but I am relatively quick on the uptake. It's logically consistent (don't know if right, but logical :) ...I'm curious. What happened with your experiment? Were you able to reduce dosing, minimise side effects, and maintain hairline/growth?
