What a fucked up thing to write. Yes lets hate on the mom who goes above and beyond to try and help her son in this fucked up situation. The rest of us have to fight this silent battle on our own.
He stopped taking dutasteride 4 days in. He's happy to load up with vitamins & minerals and seek other options. He hates the idea of going to a gym, but will go and to take advantage of the protein he is shovelling into his sytem 3 hourly, since the US clinic recommended increasing protein 2.5 weeks ago. He's put on 2 kg for the first time in his life this month! Weight has been a massive issue for him since birth. I'm beginning to feel some hope that the protein and vitamins may have positive impact on his hair, and another specialist may find some more answers.
I understood the poster. A lesser devil is better. No devil at all the best. He will not be put on either drug.
Interestingly, the second hairloss specialist said dutasteride is a better drug than finasteride, but neither suitable for a 15 year old nor indeed highly recommendable to any man.
You can hope all you want, if it is male pattern baldness all of that stuff will do absolutley nothing, 0.
I know, harsh response, but it's the truth.
On a positive side of things, male pattern baldness can slow down by itself without any antiandrogens, especially in older age.
The hope is based on hair growth in previously bald patches. Inspection last night revealled a small flush of new hair. We're talking about a painfully skinny boy who is 8 kg lighter than his 5" shorter slim younger sister.
Yes, he is destined for N7 genetically, but I'm not 100% convinced that this isn't a case of severe post-puberty loss. We're seeking further advice from another hairloss expert even though our GP has abandoned us as a lost cause and moaned that any bloodtests are a waste of money.

Yeah sure, she's helping her son. No she' not. She's acting like he has stage 4 cancer but at the end of the day it's "only" a cosmetic problem, not more... Duta with 15 years, lol. She's playing with the health of her son. What do you think how this is going to end? With 25 he would have taken Duta already 10 years which is crazy. Nearly nobody manages to take this sh*t so long. At this point he will have fucked up his body and when he stops he won't have hair with 25 and he will have a fucked up body and I'm not talking about the numb penis, I'm talking about brain damage because Duta affects processes in the brain and this at a time where his brain is still developing (he's 15 man). Absolutely crazy to even think about this. Don't forget that Duta is not approved as a hair loss treatment, it failed back than. And even Finasterid, which is way more harmless, is absolutely forbidden for people whit a body which is still developing. I can't even tell you how fucked up this sh*t is we are talking about in this thread.

Did the specialist give any reasons? Was it better for hair, if so, that is true. Anyways, it's good that he isn't taking any anti androgens right now, would wait at least until 18 as others have mentioned. Minoxidil is the way to go at the moment I'm afraid.

First i would get him on a balanced diet and make sure he is getting all the nutrients he needs and getting enough carbs in his diet. It tends to be the case with teenagers, i was one of them, that they skip essential meals and dont each lunch in school for example, hence hindering their overall development - hair aside.
I truly applaud you as a mother and everthing aside he clearly will always have a family that cares for his wellbeing.
Have you looked into starting him on minoxidil as this will not affect his hormones?
You're misinformed, and clearly haven't read the whole thread. Our son went to a clinic that puported to use remedies in line with your own DNA/enzymes. I spoke on the phone to them before going and told them I was uninterested in finasteride or the like as it was inappropriate for a youth. They attacked finasteride as a product. At no time did they tell us heavy drugs would be on offer. My husband attended the clinic with him, met fellow patients who had chosen the clinic as the most natural method. The clinic reported 100% success & made dutasteride out to be risk free.
It was not until my son and husband arrived home that I discovered he was on Dutasteride. I was horrified and upset and it took less than 24 hours for me to take him off the drug, despite the reassuring paper work my husband gave me reporting no incidence of side effects. At no stage did I want him to be on this stuff. I am yet to speak to the prescribing clinic as they have a holiday weekend.
I've been completely bagged on this site for treating my son and his hair loss as a cosmetic problem and not one to risk his health over, and taking a measured approach due to his age. Been attacked morally etc, but I remain glad I came here and viewed a variety of perspectives, heard true life recounts and got support and suggestions from those offering it. Ultimately I've also been put in touch with a hair loss specialist who seems far more in tune with treating a youth appropriately.

You're lucky I wasn't your kid when I started going bald, I would have raised absolute hell until you got me a finasteride prescription.

No sign of a 100% risk free dutasteride in this...you must have misread somewhere
