Combination therapy with finasteride and low-dose dutasteride in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
Ann Boyapati, Rodney Sinclair published in The Australasian journal of dermatology
We report on a 47-year-old man who was initially treated with finasteride for androgenetic alopecia. Despite continuous treatment, after year 4 his hair density was not as good as at year 2, and low-dose dutasteride at 0.5 mg/week was added to the finasteride therapy. This resulted in a dramatic increase in his hair density, demonstrating that combined therapy with finasteride and dutasteride can improve hair density in patients already taking finasteride.
