After seeing my thin crown, despite nizoral and finasteride, and seeing my sides thin, as The Gardener pointed out to me, I'm thinking maybe I should get back on dutas.
I was all excited about spending only $7 per month for Fincar 1.25mg, and am a bit bummed that Dutas is $30 per month.
I'm thinking of doing Dutas 5x per week, and Fincar 1.25mg 2x per week. This is extra insurance if I ever get a bad batch. But in case I'm one of the rare people with a genotype who's 5ar2 prefers finasteride to dutasteride, this is a good back up to ensure I don't lose ground.
I have one other consideration: is Dutasteride stronger at binding other enzymes besides 5ar? I know finasteride binds other enzymes, which Docj077 has complained about. Anyone have any biochem information that would explain if I need to worry about this? Given the years of finasteride use, and propecia use, I think finasteride is safe. I just wonder about dutasteride long term.
I've used both, and even at dutasteride 1.5mg, I do not get side effects. Neither does my brother. He used Inhouse dutas for 6 months, EOD, and did not see his hair grow back. But when he got off it, he got a shed. he's now on Fincar for price reasons, and because he gives up easily. I talked him into the fincar.
