Yes, on finasteride you have close to 90% probability to keep your hair for years, but one thing that is not emphasized enough is the fact that in young men, this number is rather closer to 80%. And when you are young, your MPB proceeds fast. You don't have enough time to play with finasteride, to end up frustrated after 1 year of endless waiting for any results. You must jump on the most effective drug that is available.
    How is the only prescription oral drug FDA approved for hair loss "outdated"?

    Only because Avodart has not been approved yet, due to the financial disinterest of GlaxoSmith Kline, it doesn't mean that you should use a less effective drug.

    I have been using Dutasteride since spring of 2013. It did not regrow much hair, but I am fine, because I have only mildly receding temples. I have had more success with dermarolling.

    I just started my 20th year on anti-hair loss drugs. I would probably get with minoxidil forever, but 8 years ago I started to make experiments with various hormonal drugs and my hair could not stand it. Eventually, even minoxidil with finasteride was not enough. Frankly, I thought that I was done, but dut saved me.

    If I had jumped on dut earlier, I would have saved more hair. But I was discouraged by all the internet prattle about "disastrous shedding". In reality, the hair loss simply stopped after 4 weeks of use. But it is true that it is very costly. I do hope that some generic version will be on the market soon.

    I had no sides on fin whatsoever. But on dut, I went through an episode of worsened acne on my back. This is probably due to the changes in the regulation of androgen receptors.
