Hello Doctor,
My question is: Ive been taking proscar 2.5 mg for a while with good results, after some time i felt that it wasnt working that good anymore. Regardless, one day i visited a local hair surgeon and after a brief talk about surgery the discussion moved on to hair medications, which he told me that i should switch to avodart (which he’s taking as well) so i did.
The first few weeks was awesome, after that i am experiencing major shedding which continued for the past 2 months (i’ve been on it for 2 1/2 months) so i dont know whether to switch back to finasteride or wait to see what happens with the avodart?
Honestly, you need to ask your doctor. This is a prescription medication that I did not prescribe to you. I can’t tell you whether you should switch between medications. Sorry.
avodart, dutasteride, finasteride, propecia, hairloss, hair loss
First of there is no need to be on higher than 1mg for Finasteride to treat hair loss. As for shedding there is many reports online for Propecia Avodart and Rogaine but in generally it is quite rare. Has your hair thinned out as well during the shedding or is it just a bunch of hair falling out?
