Finasteride 5 Mg More Side Than 0,5 Mg Dutasteride ?

[michel sapin]

hey guys , i read several studies about finasteride 5 mg and dutasteride and it appears that finasteride 5 mg has just slightly more sides than dutasteride 0,5 mg with less efficacity in term of hair maintenance and regrowth.

18% impotence for proscar vs 12% dutasteride 0,5mg , and just 2,2 %gyno for dutasteride and 1 % for proscar.

So would it be more clever to take 0,5 mg three times a week than 5 mg of finasteride daily in term of sides ?

Dutasteride scares the crap out of me... If finasteride didn't work id do transplant or use toppik or something. I dont see how those stats are what you say, but ill take your word for it. dutasteride from what i remember eliminates dht type 2 100% and type one like 70% i would think if lower dht causes you sides dutasteride would create even more side effects by far. I for one would never take it, ever no matter what. But thats just me and my opinion

i am too young for transplant ( 23 yo) . I send you the link of the studies : here a 4 year studies about dutasteride
http://www.gsk-clinicalstudyre...4a80-8634-5a3231c37d45

here a comparison between finasteride vs dutasteride vs placebo https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2...7?sect=X70156#outcome1 .

in all those studies dutasteride improved the hairline of the patient , and there is just slightly more sides .

HOWEVER, here in France on the package leaflet they say that dutasteride could cause gyno and impotence for more that 1 patient on 10 . SO i don't know what to believe.

Bump because i am currently taking 5 mg of finasteride, and if there are more side than dutasteride it doesnt worth it
