I have been taking Dutasteride 0.5mg twice a week orally for the past 2 weeks mainly to see if I get any side effects. So far so good but I am not sure if sides will creep in after a few months.
I would like to avoid taking it daily if possible and I've read since dutasteride stays in your system for long so twice a week should hopefully be enough to reduce sufficient DHT.
Did anyone have any success on just twice a week or is daily the better option?

Twice a week is enough yes. Your dht Will remain very low on this dosage. I have read alot about this so I know.

Yes its enough if your taking finasteride aswell on the other 5 days, I have no idea if just taking dutasteride 2 times a week alone would be sufficient though, I'm taking dutasteride 3 times a week now and finasteride on the other days 4 days I would take dutasteride daily but it's too expensive so it works out cheaper using finasteride and dutasteride

U shouldnt combine the two drugs Theres absolutely no reason for it. Dutasteride is more than enough on its own. And dutasteride three Times weekly is definately enough. I know doctors say not to combine dutasteride and finasteride because dutasteride is already a more potent drug and has a longer half life than finasteride. I read about a guy that did dht blood test on dutasteride and his dht stayed at 5 by taking two pills a week. It never changed despite taking it everyday before.
