Differences between generic versions? Also, dosages?

I'm about to buy some dutasteride. Is this what I should be buying? Are there any differences between different generic brands?

Also, I'm still confused about what dosage I should be taking. What is the least amount that people take, and is .5mg/day the most that people take? Don't some people take a .5mg pill every three days or so? What are the known differences in terms of maintanence/regrowth and side-effects between taking the highest amount and a lower amount?

Does nobody know?

What dosage should I be starting on?

I just ordered 60 pills for $75 from inhousepharmacy, assuming I won't be taking one every day, so that would last me a number of months to let me try it out.

I think he's asking whether he should take .5/day or some other schedule such as .5 every 3 days. The truth is, since dutasteride is not approved for hairloss no one here can tell you what the correct dose is, they can only provide speculation based on their own or others experiences, as well as results from clinical trials. The optimal dose of the drug seems to be 2.5mg per day(5 pills) but results can be seen with as little as 2 times per week. It's basically your call. Do a search of these forums and you'll see what I mean.

id start with monday wednesday friday. its the middle ground.i mean you could start with it every day and then reduce it if you get any sides. sides on dutasteride are supposed to last for a long time as it stays in your system for ages but mine went pretty quickly when i reduced the dosage.

What dosages were you taking before and after you got side effects?

i started every day thinking it wouldnt affect me at all but it did decrease
my libido and im pretty sure it wasnt psychosomatic. it returned to
normal(ish) when i lessened the dosage. only took a few days.
maybe it would have passed anyway but 3x a weeks good enough for me.

i started it once a day. The had a wierd bloating side effect and semi softer errections for about the first week(about 5 days). I was actually thinking of cutting back but i persisted. So far still on 1 a day and 16 days in now and the bloating is gone ... errections feel better but i can still tell they are sorta lacking but it isnt anything horrible. Oh and i pee like a woman.... probably once every 2 hours or so lol. Other then that nothing else bad to report.

Since the sides are subsiding i've just begun to throw spectral dnc in the mix for a topical.

Fat-Elvis, the prescribed dosage for BPH is 0.5 mg per day. That's one pill a day.

I take one pill a day, so does aplunk, and so do most people who use dutasteride for hair loss. If you use less than that like every other day you probably won't get as much regrowth as you could have. Obviously you could take 2.5 mg per day and get maximum regrowth but that's expensive and no one knows how safe that it is over the long term.

I would go with the BPH dosage like most of us do and take one pill a day. Also, you should buy from either Inhouse or United. They are the only two pharmacies online that have impeccable records and have guaranteed real drugs. You may save a few bucks like $30 a year by buying from another site but is it really worth it if you have to worry about the drugs maybe being fake? Not worth it bro, def buy from a reliable site like united or inhouse.
