He just said, you can quit and try other treatments. Topical dutasteride once a week might be side effect free for you. Or try taking zinc I heard that’s good for sexual sides
As Selb pointed out, I actually told you that you can quit and can look into using topical liposomal dutasteride.
0.25 mg of Finasteride is nothing as well and your still getting sides, you must be super sensitive to anti-androgens considering some people I’ve seen take 5mg. Topical Dutasteride is the way to go but I don’t know if you would still get sides.
0.25mg of finasteride is almost equally effective as 1mg or 5mg, because finasteride has an essentially flat dose response curve for all doses of around 0.2mg and upwards. Therefore, if he got sides on 1mg, it is no surprise that he is also getting sides on 0.25mg.
If this is true then why is Dutasteride known as the better, stronger version of finasteride? I read about a study that had two groups of participants taking both drugs for an extended period. One group taking dutasteride - 0.5mg and the other was on finasteride - 5mg, the results were almost identical. So what you’re saying is 0.2mg of Propecia would probably reap the same benefits as 0.5mg of Avodart?
0.5mg of dutasteride is absolutely more effective than 5mg of finasteride. I've never heard of this study you mention that found 5mg finasteride to be equally effective as 0.5mg dutasteride. Would you be able to provide a link to it.
I can’t find it because I realised it was Kevin Mann’s hair channel on YouTube where I heard it. I’ve been taking 0.5mg of Avodart for 11 months and zero sides. People don’t believe me when I say this, do you think I’ll get sides in year 2 mate?
There's a lot of inaccurate information on Youtube regarding hair loss. The studies that I've read have clearly shown dutasteride to outperform finasteride. The fact that dutasteride removes significantly more DHT than finasteride means that it would be completely illogical for finasteride to be equal to or more effective than dutasteride.
It doesn't have to be liposomal. People tried with TrichoSol and it performed similarly. I have been using it with ethanol and water for the past 3.5 months and I didn't have sides unlike my oral finasteride experience
The same Kevin Mann who made a post back in 2013 about how he doesn't want to use finasteride because it messes with sexual function?
where do i get liposomal dutasteride
Could make it yourself or order a solution online. Not sure from where though, maybe a compounding pharmacy. @jazz1 has a few links to one
If he did well then he has since changed his stance on that!
He now claims that he never got sides despite getting them. Yeah not sure what to trust
I personally wouldn't mind if he cared about his hair more than the complications finasteride may implement. That wouldn't make him a narcissist. However, claiming otherwise and not being open about his past experiences may cause his audience to misjudge the risks and benefits of that certain treatment.
