You are here:  Home » News & Research » Hair Loss News Center » Dutasteride - Anticipation Rising!

In response to this news there has been an incredible surge to acquire the treatment before its FDA approved release date. Many men are seeking ways to gather a petition and put some pressure on this company to release it to them despite any problems they may encounter legally, while other men are cautioning against it for several reasons.

First and foremost this is a chemical. Despite how badly we want to keep our hair, safety should be of the utmost concern to us here, above all else. The currently completed clinical trials only cover the research which defines the appropriate dosage for BPH patients. There is no information out there as to what dosage is necessary, safe, and optimal for young men experiencing hair loss. Additionally, the safety profile for Propecia is still questioned on an INCREDIBLE frequency by men who take it, and men who don't, even after it having been on the market for several years. If one thinks Propecia is a potent little pill, then Dutasteride should be handled with extreme caution.

Secondly, there are legal issues involved. If word gets out to Glaxo that a company is planning on duplicating their patented medication and selling it "on the black market" as it were, there could be some major legal international health ramifications.

The wise man will read this article with a new found hope for the future, and an awareness that the current treatments for hair loss - although not wonder drugs, are effective in stopping further loss in the majority of men and women. Those of you on Propecia seeing success - even when Dutasteride comes out, there is no reason to rush to buy it. Take what works for you now, and know that as time goes by, the safety profile will become more known, the effectiveness more well known, and that second option for you will always be there. It's this peace of mind that most of us are truly seeking, after all.

Discuss Dutasteride with others in our Antiandrogen Forums.
