So i'm taking proscar (cut in 1/4) been on it for about 9 months, started dermarolling 1.5mm not too long ago, but i know i need some more things to help my hair loss.
So my questions are:
1: What topical's can i use for hair regrowth/maintenance? i don't like the idea of shampoos with laureth sulfate + other junk, maybe "proven" natural stuff that can block DHT would be good to add (yes i know of ketoconazole, would also be good to know your experience with that).
2: i want to add dutasteride 0.5mg 2x a week, maybe 3, and take proscar the other days, i dont want to quit finasteride and start duta, then after 6 months to get side effects or so with duta, then restart with finasteride.
3: Dutasteride is not cheap, so what are the generic versions? would prefer the same thing but cheaper...
I found duodart to be cheaper but it comes with another ingredient as well.
4: Dutasteride is more powerful and has a much longer half life, so it is not needed to take it every day right?
I can take it 2-3 times a week? It seems like a waste and a bigger risk to take it every day.
i would say i am not too concerned with side effects, except for gyno and testosterone levels, i am a fit guy.
i will do some more research, but getting some information from other users is also good.
i just think that if dutasteride can help my hair, it would be wise to start that earlier too, rather than later.
