If anyone is wondering how long dutasteride lasts after finasteride stops working (as I did when I first started using it when finasteride failed) I have had about 2 more years maintenance at the back. I was on finasteride for 9 years of strong maintenance, then switched to dutasteride when things started to go down hill (very...

Hi Lucky, Still no luck with the testing on my end as haven’t been able to find anywhere who will test it. Best of luck!

That is a totally mad dose of RU! Obviously we all assess our own risk but wouldn’t you be better off taking dutasteride daily then lowering the Ru dose? 100mg per day is a high dose, 250 mg is off the scale...

Hi Guys, I think those of us using RU or CB really need to get it tested before using. That way we at least have some information about the chemicals going in to our bodies. Has anyone had RU or CB tested and could recommend a reliable testing company? I’m in the UK so anywhere near would be...

All good points here- thanks particularly to Ausgetbombt, that is a great idea. I will definitely do this to start things off. I think what this boils down to for all of us is that we need to make sure that what we are buying online is real CB. That way we’re in the clear. Even if we have side...

Ah cool- thanks- can you recommend a reputable company?

Maybe dutasteride is more effective, but only really at the crown. I would buy some ru and stemoxydine and then wait until you’re at 5 months on dutasteride. By this time you’ll probably know the effect of dutasteride. Some wait 6 months to be sure. Don’t wait a year, by this time you’ll have lost too much ground that...

Chaps, I’m really struggling to find a lab to test my CB. Most just say they won’t do it, some recommend contacting Cassiopea- another quoted £900! Can anyone recommend a lab, ideally in the U.K., that I could send a sample to? Thanks!

dutasteride is no better than finasteride for the hairline in my experience. It’s unlikely that it will preserve your hairline on its own. However, mix 50mg RU or CB (buy from Kane, anageninc or Wuhan) into 1 ml of stemoxydine or alfratradiol and apply to hair line. dutasteride and RU/ CB is a common combo and it’s the...

Ah yes, I’m sure there could be side effects- certainly not doubting you when you say this. We all react differently to these drugs. I hope they subside when you find the right dosage. Thanks for the tip off about transcutal. Think I may start with the alcohol/pg/ transcutal vehicle at some...

Hey, just checked science bio as I’m interested in changing my CB supplier. They are very expensive- almost double Wuhan/ Kane. Do you feel it’s worth it? I agree that they seem the most professional of all the suppliers I’ve seen. Also, where are you buying transcutal? As to the side effects...

I’ve researched the increase in scalp T quite thoroughly and honestly it’s just another theory. No one really knows if this happens and if it does lead to increased hair loss. Hair loss is a neglected medical issue with few studies. Also no one knows for sure if up-regulation exists- I can only...

I’ve been on dutasteride for 1.5 years now. I found it no better than finasteride on the front and I kept losing rapidly. However it’s been great at the crown. I now take dutasteride daily and use 80mg cb/ru on the front daily in stemox. Seems to be a shaky (almost) maintenance but I’m grateful for it

I agree maintenance on breezula is not going to be as strong as dutasteride/finasteride but it is a very useful adjunct treatment when even dutasteride doesn’t stop your hair loss. Granted I’m only a year in but it seems fine when used in combo with dutasteride to maintain the hair line- which is what both finasteride and dutasteride struggle...

Because I was on finasteride for 9 years, then switched to dutasteride for 3 months then switched back to finasteride. The hair fall in this period was unlike anything I have seen before during my time on finasteride and it left a hole in the centre of my hairline- in three months. Obviously in this 3 month period the hair...
