    Default Best way to switch from finasteride to dutasteride

    Hi everyone

    I've been taking finasteride (1mg) for 5 years. It's helped me to maintain hair, but sadly there hasn't been any regrowth.

    So I've decided to switch to dutasteride (0.5 mg).

    I was going to simply stop the one & start the other, but I'm a little worried that this might result in shedding. With that in mind, what's the best way to transition?

    Please share your experiences.

    Many thanks.

    Do you mean you take 3 dutasteride & 4 finasteride pills per week?

    How long have you been taking dutasteride?

    If you didn't have any side effects on finasteride and it worked well for you, dutasteride might be an improvement.
