    If you see the slightest sign of gyno, stop and immediately get on a estrogen blocker.

    You say RU and CB like they are easily attainable, this isn't the case is it?

    Dutasteride if you wanna get a little more extreme.

    Otherwise just stay on fin if you don't experience sides and wait for say BIM and Histogen to launch in the next 2-4 years.

    As far as I know, this happens in ca. 0.5% men. But in ca. 50% men on this forum LOL

    He doesn't have to be on finasteride for 12-15 months. Why? Was he sentenced to it by some tribunal? He can go straight on dutasteride. Why to waste 12-15 months on a medication that may not work, when he can jump on dutasteride and have almost 100% chance to succeed?

    Fin should always be used first over Dut. The reason is your more likely to have side effects with DUT because it blocks a lot more DHT than Fin does. Read the article from Bald Truth where Spencer Kobren discusses the differences between the two. Dut should only be used if Fin doesn't work. You have to give Fin a year to see if it works for you. Fin works for 9 out of 10 men. Those are pretty good odds.

    According to Spencer Kobren:

    "Propecia should always be your first line of attack. According to clinical trials you have almost a 90% chance of stopping the progression of your hair loss and a significant chance of regrowing hair that’s been lost within the past 5 years or so. If you fall within the small percentage of men who do not see benefits from Propecia you can always talk to your doctor about the possibility of using Dutasteride."
