18 weeks on dutasteride (photo)

Good early results from 18 weeks using dutasteride. I expect more reversal over the end of a years use. Dutasteride blocks the enzyme 5 alpha reductase by competing with it at the hair receptor sites and it is 80-85% effective, while finasteride is 70% effective. The problem with dutasteride, because it is more effective is (a) it is not FDA approved for hair loss as a safety matter and (2) there are probably more side effects because dutasteride being more effective.
