Dut 0.5 EOD/MWF vs Fin 1 ED. What should I do?

I’ve been on Finasteride 1 mg and oral Minoxidil 1.25 mg every day for a year but haven’t seen much regrowth. Two months ago, I switched to Dutasteride 0.5 mg and oral Minoxidil 2.5 mg daily. Recently, I started noticing symptoms such as weaker erections after ejaculation and mild aching in the testicles.

Now, I’m considering reducing the frequency of Dutasteride to every other day, or 2–3 times per week, or possibly returning to Finasteride—while continuing with 2.5 mg of Minoxidil. The issue is, I care about preserving my hairline, and I forgot that I had already increased the Minoxidil dose, which I think might be enough.

What should I do?

Switching up your dut schedule to every other day could help reduce side effects while maintaining some efficacy. Fin is weaker than dut, so it might reduce side effects but also might not be as effective for your hairline. Keeping your min at 2.5 mg could help, too.
