Is an 18 year old on dutasteride safe?

[Hairlossyoyo]

My doctor has told me I'm done growing, I also started puberty at age 10. I have to shave pretty much every single day and my body is hairy as ****. Considering this would it be safe for me to take dutasteride? My hair loss is getting to the point I can't really hide it anymore and finasteride hasn't been helping me much. I ordered dutasteride already from alldaychemist and I'm just waiting for it to get here. I'm not worried about things such as loss of libido or watery semen or anything just possible permanent effects of taking it so young. I feel like it's safe because the clinical studies with dutasteride used 18 year olds but I'm not sure. Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

find out what effects 5ar1 has on an 18 year old male, but general consensus would be if you could take finasteride, you could probably take dutasteride.

Playing with fire but if you've been on finasteride with no problems, may be able to tolerate it without long term repercussions. Did they really use 18 year olds in a dutasteride study?

Yes the study I read about was 18-55 year olds. Obviously it wasn't a group of just 18 year olds, however if they included 18 year olds in their study group they must have thought there wasn't much potential danger I would assume.

You should be fine starting Dutasteride at age 18. I've been on that drug for over one year and I've encountered no problem of any sort, it's very strong at slowing/stopping hair loss. I started Dutasteride at age 22.

Yeah I read about its effectiveness that's why I want to start. My hair isn't too bad right now it's just if it starts receding more and thinning out we will have a problem. I can link pictures of y'all would like. I'm not even looking for regrowth just maitenence.

are here many guys who started finasteride or dutasteride when they were 18? i also think about using finasteride and i´m 19. I believe there's less risk of sides for young man than older man (lets say 30 or so)

Yeah, I'm 19 and been using dutasteride. No side effects to report at the moment.
