    Did you just start by taking one pill per day (or twice a week etc), or do you have a loading time in the beginning? Also, how and where did you get it?

    Which of those do you get, avodart, duprost, dutas or dutagen? Also how long have you been on dut and can you confirm that it has worked for you yet?

    Dutagen, the cheapest one.

    I started March of this year, and stopped September then continued again in October.

    Yeah it works really well for MPB. It worked really fast for me but apparently it's not the case for everyone, so make sure to give it time. But yeah it does work, it's going through FDA trials right now for MPB, well last I heard it was in FDA trials. And it was doing pretty good. One thing is for sure, it is superior to finasteride. Whether its side effects are stronger or not I can not touch on that since I am not affected by these sexual side effects at all, by either drug.

    I suggest you try the drug. I'm not sure if I should tell you to speak to your doctor first, since your doctor may reject it or not know anything about it being used for MPB, and then you follow his/her instructions and not take it, and miss out on some good results. So that's up to you.

    I have been on Fin for 16 months with excellent results .
    What more could I expect with DUT?

    I see. Do you reckon an average doctor would reject a prescription for dutasteride, and say if he does so for a while might eventually discontinue a prescription for dutasteride for the long term? Could you give me the links to a few legit pharmi websites selling the stuff just in case, I already have the one you gave me but I'd just like to have a look around. Cheers

    Forgot to ask, are all the dutasteride brands equally as effective? Say is dutagen as effective as avodart in blocking DHT levels?

    Average doc will probably not prescribe Avo for hair. You need a hairl oss specialist or at least a dermatologist who is competent about hair loss (they are rare)
    Try calling their offices before you make an appt, ask if they ever prescribe Avo for hair loss
