Dosage info for Dutasteride users!!!

I just saw this on a website:

0.5mg Dutasteride inhibits ~ 92% serum DHT and 55% scalp DHT
2.5mg Dutasteride inhibits ~ 95% serum DHT and 82% scalp DHT

This basically means, that you will achieve significantly better results by taking five capsules a day than only one. Because it's the scalp DHT you have to reduce.

So what I'm saying is that I think taking 2.5 mg Dutasteride a day is being VERY close to a cure against hairloss for MOST people.

But as seen below you will still supress scalp DHT much better using 0.5 mg Dutasteride a day than taking 1 mg Finasteride.

1.0 mg Finasteride inhibits ~ 70% serum DHT and 38% scalp DHT

I am currently taking 0.5 mg Dutasteride a day, but would definitely go for the 2.5 mg dose if I could aford it. But I can't, and doubt there is many who can!

Finally, I don't think you should be so reluctant to try Dutasteride as IT IS FDA aproven - just not for hairloss. But I think the side effect rate is very exaggerated. I haven't felt a thing - and most of the guys in here haven't.

And if you should be so unlucky to have side effects, then simply stop taking the pills and the side effects will subside.

BTW, sorry for my imperfect English (I'm a Danish guy).

Not a response, just a convenient place to hang this question. Is there any clinical data on the combination of a topical DHT inhibitor use concurrently with finasteride or dutasteride? Rather than dosing strongly with a systemic hormone inhibitor, is there any evidence that we can significantly reduce scalp DHT with a combination of, say, .5 mg dutasteride and Revivogen? It seems to me that this combination might be a good approach, but I'm wondering if there is any data to confirm that.

I have no data but I was using 1.25mg finasteride and 0.5mg dutasteride for 6mths with quite good results but it's costly.
