finasteride and dutasteride at the same time?

flyerman22 · Feb 1, 2012

This has probably been asked before but I have been on finasteride 1mg for about 5 months. I am 45 and having thinning in the front and vertex. I tried doing minoxidil 5% for a few weeks but found that to be not easy to keep up with and would rather take the pill or pills. I have been reading the forums but getting impatient and hoping that my hair fills back in somewhat. Can you tell me if taking dutasteride at the same time is a good idea? dutasteride a few times a week with 1mg a day of finasteride?
Does the hair you shed from the first few months grow back? Sorry for all the questions but looking for some good advice, please. Sorry if I should not ask this, but can you tell me a good place online to order generics?

No, taking dutasteride and finasteride at the same time will not produce better results. It's one or the other, as they work the same way. Also, studies have show that 1mg or even less works the same way as doubling the dose. 1mg is really all anyone needs. I've also been on finasteride 5 months, and had shed a bit. I've heard it's supposed to grow back. Just wait at least a full year, things should be back to normal soon. The #1 mistake would be getting discouraged and stopping your regular dose. Hope I helped!

Yes considered ordering through them but not sure if they are real and would hate to lose/waiste my time taking them but can't afford the pricing of either without using a generic. Thank you for the reponses.
