After many years of topical fin+min use im considering topical dut, worth it?

Im on my 30’s and have maintained a reasonable amount of hair, I started using it many years ago, but im losing ground and I need bigger guns. Will liposomal dutasteride once or twice a week give me a boost? Im hoping to halt it as much as possible and get a NW1 transplant in some years. Im like a NW 1.7 or something, and I also lack some density on the crown.

My options for this liposomal dutasteride are:

0.025%

0.05%

0.1%

Considering that typically I would need at least 2ml of the product to cover the key areas, let’s see how many mg I would be consuming:

So if the default treatment for oral is a 0,5mg pill 3 times weekly, should I just get the 0,025% and apply 2ml 3x a week?

If I get an higher dose, can I use it twice a week? I would be ok with 2 times a week with 0,05%, that’s 2mg a week.

Considering this is topical and not oral, then I guess it’s not 1:1 and you could go a bit higher?

0,1% perhaps seems a bit too much.

I would also buy rogaine and apply it the day im using this. Im assuming there is not a problem with that.

If anyone has any experience with this please let me know. I don’t want to waste money in things that don’t work. Should I give it a go for like 6 months in key areas and decide? I will continue to use the topical fin+min foam, which im using at 0,25% and 5% respectively if anyone is interested. I don’t know what my status would be may I have not started using it many years ago, but I can say that it worked against the infamous DHT itch, which was getting massive. However you don’t know if hormonal changes happening due aging also played a factor. Nontheless, im still high libido, the only thing that changed is that I don’t shot massive loads unfortunately as I did back then, which I would like to fix but I don’t know how.

Topical dut can be a solid move if you’re losing ground with fin + min. Dut blocks more types of 5AR, potentially lowering DHT better. Start with the 0.05% if you’re going to do 2ml for a safe measure. It’s not a strict 1:1 with oral, so you can afford to experiment a bit with higher concentrations. Just keep the Rogaine going as it acts differently. Check results in about 6 months to see how it’s working for you. If libido or anything else changes, it might be good to evaluate usage but keep note of how much you’re using and any side effects. Keep us updated on what you find with this setup.
