Ordered Dutas but still on finasteride

[TooLyr]

Hi,

I'm taking finax daily now (after I took propecia for 4.5 years-no side effects) and I just ordered Dutas in order to improve my hair.
After some reading, I'm thinking to keep taking finax daily and start using Dutas twice a week (finasteride is just to insure I won't get worse if dutasteride won't work for me).
I also using rogaine foam for 2 weeks now and revita shampoo.
What do you think? ( I will get Dutas just in 3 weeks)
Also, do you have any links for good reasults with duts?

Thanks.

Switching to dutasteride will only make your hair quality improve, since it inhibits more dht(95% overall) compared to finasteride(68-70%). It actually might be unsafe to take both but that is up to your doctor, if you are currently seeing one.

The doctors here won't give you a prescription for duts, only for finasteride.
I've read many posts about people using both without any special issue.
I'm thinking to use both and if I will gain any improvments that will be a sign I can stop using finasteride.

I'm interesting in doing the same, been taking finas for around 3 years now, would like to add dutastiride once or twice a week. Any advice?

I just read about the Australian research that used finasteride daily and 0.5 duts only one time per week (no finasteride for that day) with very good results, so this kind of dose is also a way to try.

no point in taking finasteride if you are on dutasteride. Dutasteride does everything finasteride does and more. You might as well be taking a sugar pill instead of finasteride. dutasteride will always work better than finasteride

Is there any possibility that changing to duts will make my hair worse ?

No reason for that, but you may go through an initial shed

No

How would you change from finasteride to dutasteride ? gradually or just replace ?

If you take the dutasteride right away your DHT levels will drop faster than if you did it gradually.
