    started Avodart (after 8months proscar)

    Need some advice from avodart users:

    today i took my first Avodart capsule. I plan on taking Avodart 2X a week.

    The alternate days i will keep taking Proscar...

    Is 2x a week enough in your opinion ?


    (i will build up my regime and possibly quit proscar after a few months)

    I don't use Avodart, but the half-life is approximately 10 days, so you could probably even use it weekly and get more or less the same results. Every other day would be almost exactly the same as daily.

    Why are you using it with finasteride? Avodart inhibits 5AR Type 1 and 2, and fin only inhibits type 2. Using both doesn't really add any additional benefits, and you might be opening yourself up to further risks.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm still using fin because i want do be sure that duta has taken hold first..
    And i don't want to use duta every day yet... I have read some posts of people who used duta 1 or 2x a week and fin the other days and had better results than on fin alone.

    I'm finally gonna get on dutasteride late this year. I have planned it before, but backed off last minute. After 1 year and 6 months on fin, only maintaining, it's time to kick it up a notch. But by late this year I would have almost 2 years on it.

    Hej JimmyNeutron,

    I have been on fin for the past 8 months but am not noticing any regrowth. I guess i am maintaining, although my temples have receded a bit. (but i think that they are still recovering from the shed, which stopped at month 6)

    So you have been on fin for 1yr and 6m ? And you have not seen any regrowth the whole time you've been on it ?

    I've been using Avodart for over 8 months now after 11 months on fin, without seeing any significant change. It's been a rollercoaster ride though. Scary sheds and nasty side effects. Currently my hair looks amazing, but I would suggest using this drug with caution.

    Uh no, 2x a week will never give you the same results of every day. The half life of 10 days does not literally mean that 2x a week is the same as every day. Total misunderstanding of how this works. For full effect you need to take it every day.
