Will Dutasteride Maintain the Finasteride Benefits? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

I have switched from finasteride to dutasteride recently – my hair is definitely receding as i stopped taking anything for around 18 months. I started taking proscar again for a year before switching to avodart – will i lose all the hair that was kept or regrown by stopping finasteride and switching or will avodart just continue where proscar left off?

kind regards

If your transition from finasteride to dutasteride is transparent (stop finasteride one day and pick up dutasteride the next day), then there should be no impact on the switch as both drugs block DHT at the level of the hair. Keep in mind that appropriate dosage for dutasteride as a hair loss treatment has yet to be approved by the FDA.
