Does anyone take both? If so, how often? I realize that both have potential side effects, but incidence is low with both. Is there anything to be concerned about by taking both? Any benefits?

No benefits.. both are competitive inhibitors for 5ar. So in essence, dutasteride will out compete the finasteride, which would normally out-compete the testosterone, if it wasn't already itself out compted by dutasteride.

I suppose it depends on how bad your male pattern baldness has progressed.. it you've just started, finasteride is probably the way to go - a little less benefit, but less chance of side effects.
