Finasteride + Dutasteride - still high dht levels

[dar3k]

Im taking 1mg finasteride + 0.5mg Dutasteride daily since few years. My dht levels are

480ng/l (250–750 ng/l)

Why they are still that high? Im still loosing my hairs..

Medications are 100% fine. I buy them in pharmacy with prescription.

Supposedly some people may not respond well due to genes. In this case you should be considering things like RU and oral min.

Same, but on Finasteride and Topical Finasteride, check here: https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...ding-up-tolerance-or-what-blood-tests.133078/

Are you losing ground as well, despite the shedding?

I have same sh*t on finasteride, idk what causes it. However, if I take duta, it definitely gives me gyno, but I haven't take a blood test while on duta (dropped it after 1 month).

Yes im loosing ground, hairs are very fine, much thinner, went from almost black to light brown :/

I started with topical Minoxidil 5% 2xday and I plan to buy RU. I have nothing to lose.. If it wont work, then only hair system/smp....

How much Duta you were taking?

Well, give time for sure now that you started minoxidil, and yes, keep RU as an option as well. It's so unfortunate and unbearable...

I only took it 1x a week, basically instead of 1mg/7x a week of finasteride, I used 1mg finasteride * 6 + 0.5mg of duta and it was enough to get some serious nipple pain after 3 weeks

Maybe topical is an option for you?

Yes, I know. The famous combo of 6+1, like the 2012/13 case study. That's unfortunate. @Norwoody is on point, with the suggestion of topical dutasteride.
