Dutasteride is most often used to treat prostate enlargement, but is sometimes used to treat male pattern baldness. Unlike minoxidil, which can cause temporary hair loss in the first weeks of use by accelerating the hair growth cycle, dutasteride affects hormonal levels by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with hair loss. A flaky scalp is not a common side effect of dutasteride, however, each person is different and may respond differently to the medication.
to accelerate hair growth: proper nutrition, regular exercise, vitamins A, C, D, E, group B, iron, zinc and biotin, drugs to stimulate hair growth, such as minoxidil or arginine
