Should I Switch from Dutasteride to Finasteride?

Three years ago, I took dutasteride 0.5mg three days a week. It had a placebo effect, causing sexual problems, so I stopped. A year ago, I started again, and since the second month, when I wash my hair every two to three days, I’ve been losing approximately 120-150 hairs (I counted them). For the past two months, I’ve been adding 0.5mg for five days to increase the dose. I’ve seen on Reddit and forums that finasteride also gives very good results, and the people who have posted about it are taking finasteride.

Should I switch or wait 24 months to see if it’s effective? I should add that I’ve been using oral minoxidil for five years.

Thank you.

Dut is stronger and blocks more DHT types than fin. If the side effects are too much, switching to fin could help, but it might be less effective. Keep in mind hair growth takes time; you’ll wait a bit with either treatment. Check out The Beginner’s Guide for more info.
