You can only be prescribed .5mg from a doctor.
If you go the 2.5mg route, you'll probably need to buy generic dutasteride because it's so much cheaper.
As far as 3 months, that's still little time in the whole scheme of things. I would think that you would notice a decrease in hairloss... however, many dutasteride users report shedding the first 6 months of use.
dang that means if i want to get 2.5mg i have to spill out some cash...iget Avodart for free so i guess ill have to stick with 0.5mg then....do u know of any solution for the hairline and basically the front of the hair...its been thinning alot and i have recently started to use Nizoral 2% 2X a week....iv heard of ppl talking about that whole aloe-avodart thing...whats your opinion on that?

I think Aloe-Avodart is just a waste.
We have seen no photographic results of it.
I think that the best hairline treatments we have are this:
Minoxidil
Topical spironolactone Cream
Copper Peptides
I think that those will probably save, regrow, or slow down hairloss on your hairline.
Keep up with the internal dutasteride.

ok feelin stupid but what is Avodart actually doing i know it inhibits the converson of testosterone to DHT but with the whole hair shedding whats goin on there is it getting rid of the "weaker" hair to allow new strong hair to come through or does this take time (ie. hair folicles get bigger over time?) can some one clarify this? and also im nt as horny as i use to be...feel like a woman....is there any suppliments i can take ie. Zinc to stop this form happening, i miss being horny!!!!!

@Mike_1987: to answer a part of your questions.
How long did you take already dutasteride? I have not much problems with libido. The first weeks i had but it normalized to at least the level having been on finasteride.
And one advise: if you are missing to be horny, don't have orgasm for 3-5 days. Then you get so horny automatically.

@Mike: stay patient!
You are young, this is a big advantage! Do you take 0.5mg every day? After month 4 i lowered my dose to 4x0.5mg/week.
You could do this, too, if you see improvement.
And you could consider trying the lasercomb. For me it works. You can test it for 3 month. Or/then buy it in rates.
