Finally got the Dutas delivered. I was sent me two types to try out, Duprost and Dutas.
The first surprise is that they are both in Gelatin capsule form (pictures attached. All the Dutasteride I've bought online over the last 2 years have been in a tiny pill form. He said he went to quite a few reputable chemists and all sold Gelatin capsules so I guess it must be OK.
Does anyone have any experience about this?

I know that dut is just a stronger version of fin, but I don't know, it's just senseless fear in my part I guess. I took my 5th dut pill today and still no signs of sides, but I guess it's too early to tell. I expect to have no sides though, I think my MPB is too aggressive and dut+fin at best would only tickle my MPB. That is where Rogaine comes in, I hope it gives me a little boost.
PatientlyWaiting, in those 4 years, did you continue losing significant amounts of hair?
Or did the Finasteride stabilize your hair loss?
I'm a NW2.5 and it's getting very hard to style these days, I just want to maintain. I've been on Fin for over 2 months.
Thanks.
And Aames, you have awesome hair, and I think we all know you're going to at least maintain it. Congratulations.
I would hop on Dutasteride too, but unfortunately at 17, Fin is where I draw the line. I want to hit 21 before I take on something like Dut.
Good luck.

It kept me at NW3 so yeah it stabilized. I don't like it, but it could be worse. I could have gotten sides, It could have not worked at all, etc. Stopping hair loss is better than nothing. It has been even more valuable because I might be getting FUE done next year, so I won't need a massive amount of grafts to rebuild my hairline.
