Generic dutasteride tested at a lab / No results since 2013

[MattB]

I paid for a lab to check the dutas that I buy from Canada and compare to generic dutasteride that I now buy from CVS via a paid for prescription. The results are that the one from Canada (likely manufactured in India etc...) is in fact dutasteride.

I was worried that maybe it was fake... although I've received different versions over the years from Canada... I was also worried to take the generic from CVS - if it was in fact different, I may see a shed that I'm not prepared for.


So, it seems I've likely been taking real dutasteride since 2013. I take it roughly every other day, .05 mg while I continue to take daily finasteride. Just could not give up finasteride...

Never had a massive shed from adding dutas, but also nothing really happened. I continued with the slow loss of hair like I have with finasteride. Now at age 41 I'm getting to a point after 20 years where my hairline is really bothering me.

Why would dutasteride do nothing? I thought it was finasteride on steroids. Anyone else see notthing? No shed no gains, no stopping etc...?
