    Default switching from fin to dut advice

    What's the best way to make the switch?
    I had no side effects on propecia apart from bad hairline thinning in the corners.

    Is dut better on the hairline?

    What's the most reliable cheapest place to get it online that delivers to the UK?

    What do you guys think of half a dut pill every 2 days?

    Plan on doing this for money reasons as propecia cost me lots

    1 0.5mg Dut capsule a week= .07mg
    2 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .14mg
    3 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .21mg
    4 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .28mg
    5 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .35mg
    6 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .42mg
    7 0.5mg Dut capsules a week= .5mg

    There were studies that compared 0.5mg>0.3mg>0.1mg Dutasteride. 0.5mg was the strongest then (if we are excluding 2.5mg every week) it was 0.3mg, and finally 0.1mg. I would suggest taking Dutasteride 0.5mg four times a week; M,T,TH,F

    Yes, Dutasteride is better on the hairline than Finasteride because it is much more powerful.

    I wish you the best man. I've been on fin for year and 7 months and my hair has been shedding since the one year mark. Hairline also receded in this time.

    Keep me updated if you make the switch. I've read bad about both drugs on hairlines so it's a crap shoot.

    I will but money is my main issue here, just not sure if the online route then doctor check ups may be cheaper..

    Yeah I'm located in nj and I remember asking a pharmacist how much dutasteride was when I went to pick up my prescription for fin and they said like $238 for a 30 day supply... I was shocked. It was name brand avodart though.

    Oh and I've just read people's hairlines getting worse on it, that's all. If you type into google, "dutasteride" on of the suggested searches is killed my hairline lol. However, there are good stories to man. I'm done experimenting myself lol. When my shed started this year, I had pain in my scalp, burning, etc.. And I don't know if it was caused by minoxidil or fin.. I decided to quit minoxidil because I did have a SHIT ton of dandruff.. I'm "alright" at the moment.. Luckily I saved my money because I'm going to just get a transplant to restore and not worry about a creeping hairline anymore.

    Keep in touch man. And best of luck!
