so just a few days ago i was quite sure im going to order RU,
just wanted to ask some questions here first.

than - a lot of people told me not to go that way - for reasons i dont really know to be honest,
and they told me just start with the finasteride or dutasteride,

but i want to attack the dht with the strongest weapon there is, and as far as i understand - right now - its ru58841. right ?

so why actually go with finasteride or dutasteride instead of ru ?

@ all ru users that also used dutasteride -
besides that RU has no side effects (so they say at least) - is it better than dutasteride ?
i mean - did you got more hair growth with RU ?
what else can you say about the two ?



thanks.

Two words : proven treatments.
There are several published studies proving the efficiency of finasteride and dutasteride on humans, none for RU58841, it shouldn't be that hard to understand.

By the way I saw you were also tempted to go into the natural supplements route (right after you wanted to use dutasteride 2.5mg...), don't do that, you seem to be quite lost and not as well informed as you claim to be.

Finasteride 1mg is more than likely to do the job, if you're afraid it's not, then dutasteride 0.5mg, don't try any other thing until you tried that.

And google the studies' results if you haven't, forum posts from random internet dudes only get you so far..

no no you didnt get me right -
i AM - meaning to get some multi-vit-sawpalmetto-complex - IN ADDITION - to the the other stuff
which right now include - minoxidil twice a day, nizoral twice a week, and now im trying to figure out what DHT fighter to use.

its not that im afraid that finasteride or dutasteride wont do the job, just - the numbers suggests other wise, plus - it seems that people all over the internet are suggesting RU as the best thing out there .

have you used ru as well ?
im looking for guys that tried them both/all DHT fighters (basicall finasteride/dutasteride/ru) to see what they think about RU vs. dutasteride .

in one sentece put -
i want the strongest male pattern baldness fighter known to men.

Dutasteride+RU+topical minoxidil+oral minoxidil+oral spironolactone+oral ketoconazole+ketoconazole shampoo.

Have fun ruining your health ^^"

More seriously if you really want to have one of the strongest regimen available, why don't you try dutasteride in addition to RU? I don't advise it but if you think you need this to treat your hair loss.. I wouldn't trust RU alone if I was you, in addition to another anti-androgen maybe but it really should be a last resort (if you get sides from finasteride/dutasteride or if finasteride/dutasteride alone don't stop your loss).

ru+dutasteride - as if to attack the problem from two different angles ?
(blocking DHT, and preventing its manufcatoring ? )

Yes, and because you shouldn't trust unproven medications, no matter how many users say it works.

Dutasteride is already in a grey area because it's not approved as a treatment against hair loss, but there are published studies proving it works, and it has been safely used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia for more than ten years.

There is nothing for RU58841, except posts from random dudes saying it works (I've also seen posts from people who had no results with it btw).

dutasteride is the strongest reliable med. RU I only recommend for a last resort for those who get unbearable sides from finasteride and dutasteride

You keep saying you want to start with the strongest. dutasteride is the strongest. So why are you still talking about this?

I started with RU+dutasteride but dutasteride is so strong I will be discontinuing the RU as its probably not even needed

im just dying to restore my temples
thought only RU could make that happen,
do you think dutasteride can ??

i have a blonde hair, and on my temples i still have very very thin short hairs, almost white,
so the follicles arent lost,
but they dont grow much either..
do you think dutasteride can make that happen ?
i got the feeling that only ru can, because im hearing people saying it did a little bit good to their hairline.

dutasteride certainly can. There is no strong reason to believe RU is better than dutasteride. If you really want to you could take both but it would be overkill. dutasteride is strong on its own
