    When will Dutasteride be approved in the UK for hair loss?

    Does anybody know when it'll be available/if it will become available?

    I've read a few places online that say it could be the end of this year since they completed the phase III trials. Is it possible to get a hold of in the UK in any way?

    You can get it on PX in the UK from an informed GP

    I know Dr Steve Edgar who prescribes me my Proscar also prescribes DUT

    You can email him - Drstevengedgar@gmail.com for a consent form and then
    I believe he requires a brief phone consultation.


    I hope this helps

      It doesn't need to be approved for hair loss that would cost GSK a lot of money for very little gain. Propecia sales aren't exactly dramatic and the higher chances of side effects means its unlikely to be pursued.

      But It is easy to get in the UK especially compared to other countries where its almost impossible. Just go to any online pharmacy and just look in the Prostate Enlargement section rather than Hair Loss.

        Merck yield over $400,000,000 per year from Propecia. It unlikely to be finances, perhaps there's another answer?

        Glaxo ma be aware of the Merck 700 strong lawsuit against Merck on the side-effects of their 5AR inhibitor.
