Avodart or Proscar

[kriss]

I have took Proscar for over 10 years. I still seem to be thinning on the front hairline. A hair DR told me I should take Avodart, as well as Proscar. That there are 2 causes of DHT and Proscar works on "cause 1" , but not " #2". And Avodart will work on "cause 2", but not "cause 1". Since I have took Proscar for so long and I am still thinning I should now try Avodart, too.

Another hair DR (I have consulted with about 5 in regards to a hair transplant) told be that I should only take one. That Avodart works on both causes of DHT. So if Proscar is not working effectively enough, I should switch to just Avodart.

I'm confused!?!

its well known that avodart works on both type 1 and 2. So you really only need to take avodart if money is an issue. It actually inhibits more type 2 than proscar does, so it works better. And it inhibits type 1 as well, whereas proscar does not. However, some people take both just in case, its wont really hurt you, but probably wont help much more than if you were just to take avodart.
