    Default Dutasteride question

    Hello, Everyone:

    I am 38 Year old male. Been on Propecia for 12+ Years and started to apply Rogaine 2 Years ago. I think I am NW4 with hairloss primarily in the frontal area.

    I want to regain hair using med. Please suggest if I should consider Dutasteride. Here are my questions:

    (1) What is Dutasteride? (active ingredient in each tablet, brand, etc.)
    (2) What is the best way to transition from Propecia to Dutasteride?
    (3) Risk of side effects? I have none so far on Propecia.

    Thanks.

    Might be worth giving Dutasteride a try. However there is no data with any DHT blocker that describes effectiveness in the frontal area, only mid scalp and crown.
