25M here. My dermatologist initially prescribed me 1mg finasteride daily, 1.25mg oral minoxidil, and 5% topical minoxidil. I’ve been on them for a month now, but haven’t seen any improvement, still shedding, and no noticeable change yet. I had my second consultation recently, and the doctor switched me to 0.5mg dutasteride instead of fin, kept both oral and topical minoxidil, and also told me to start PRP treatments from next week.
I’m a bit skeptical. I thought I’d be told to continue the same meds for at least 3 months before making any changes.
Is it normal to switch from fin to dut and add PRP this early?
PRP is useless but did she give you the reason for the change ?
