Im taking dutasteride twice a week and finasteride everyday.
Taking finasteride every day will decreade the amount of DHT by about 60 to 70 %
Now the dutasteride will reduce the total DHT even further as it inhibits both type 1 and type 2 5α-reductase and is approved at the 0.5-mg dose for treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is about 3 times as potent as finasteride at inhibiting type 2 5α-reductase and more than 100 times as potent at inhibiting the type 1 5α-reductase enzyme.
The hair will get accustomed to this medication in about a couple of years, and will get resistant to this dosage then at that time re shuffling the dosage will benefit the hair to restore itself again.
If the hair gets resistant to this dose then only it will act better to a more dosage of dutasteride, and finasteride will always add an extra benefit.
As of now dutasteride twice a week is good foe keeping the total of DHT less.
When im Thinking about Hair loss im thinking about it for long term.
If i increase the dose of dutasteride currently, ill have a head of hair much sooner, but ill losse it much sooner too.
Please share your valuable advise and experiences with us too.

my current dose of finasteride is 1mg every day, and dutasteride is 0.5 mg twice a week.
glycolic peel one a week followed by shampoo.
nizoral twice a week and selson shampoo for the rest of the days.
i make sure i dont over dry my scalp cause it leads to an over oily scalp too.
