Is This Better Than Finasteride 1mg/day?

I'm Dr Mondrian Parissis I am a Hair Specialist and Hair Transplant Surgeon from London, UK in partnership with Feller & Bloxham Medical in Great Neck, New York. I posts videos dedicated to help you with your hair loss. In this video, I use research studies to suggest a novel way of taking dutasteride!

Consultations involve a DEEP DIVE into your hair loss journey, your current hair situation, your chance of further loss and your treatment options.

I had sides with fin, no sides with dut. Taking both every day. Our bodies are complex machines

[emilphoryew]

What I'm doing daily: 200 mg oral spironolactone, 5mg oral finasteride, 2.5 mg oral minoxidil, 2 mg copper supplement, estrogen cream, progesterone cream. My hair looks full and great and I still look like a guy (so far). Nothing like female hormones to get the hair back on top.

thank you Doktor. great video, great informations. i am on 7 fin and 2 dut. next would be 5 fin + 2 dut per week 👍

[burglekutt]

Everyone who takes dut knows it works better and has less to zero sides.

[jayeeeedeeee]

I'm really curious about the prevalence of these alleged side effects, because I've been taking .5 mg dutasteride daily for the entire year with no side effects whatsoever.

Dutasteride is supposedly the more potent DHT blocker so it makes sense that it would have the better chance for bad sides... at least that's what I'm getting from the dozens of videos I've been watching.

For 2 years take 0.5 mg of dutas daily. And I managed to stabilize my alopecia with little or no improvement. A month ago I switched to 1 mg of finasteride daily. I know it's too early to draw conclusions but my density really seems to have improved noticeably. Anyone here who has had better results with finasteride than with dutas?

[DirectionD]

I take 0.5 fin for 6 days and dutasteride 0.5 once per week. This of course includes topical minoxidil every day. I just added dutasteride to my regimen a month ago, and I've already noticed my skin becoming more oily 😄

We'll have to see how my hair looks in a year's time.

Honestly i just prefer dut, i had sides on fin, but none on dut daily

[afsarraj]

I take dutasteride once a week and my hair is stable.

Very interesting video! Thanks for the information, doc. Question: what do you think about combining both medications on patients who have not experienced any side effect from fin? For example, a person who has been taking 1mg fin daily for an entire year could add to the regimen 0.5mg dut caps twice a week instead of the finasteride pill. I think that could work as a little boost on the already well tolerated treatment and the risk of getting sides is very unlikely.

Both studies have very low sample sizes.

[adamlapier]

Based on this, would you only ever really need to take Dut 0.5mg 7x/week if you have severe balding? could you do DUT 3x/week and Fin 4x/week or if your doing the switch should you just get rid of the fin altogether?

[davidomeara]

Love your content and honesty, especially as it's coming from a doctor. Are you still using finasteride? I was similar to you in that I had skin side effects on oral minoxidil but I am going to try it again soon to be sure.

[strangeenigma]

Hi, Doc! Just wanna know your insights on how to reduce/stop oily scalp. Thanks!!

[bromie]

Hi Dr, I see you had redness - erythema after your surgery. I'm 6 weeks after my surgery and its very apparent with me. I think our skin is quite similar in tone. I wonder how long it took you for this issue to go away? Was the area tender? Is there any remedies for it? Thank you :)

[Altoids]

How does this compare to taking Dut 0.5mg once and week and Fin 1mg the rest of the week like your other video suggests?

[fako]

I currently take 1 mg of finasteride three times a week and minoxidil foam once every day. Can I also take 0.5 mg of dutasteride once a week?

[martinivanov]

Great video, wjy cant i find the video with progressive finasteride dosing it was very good information, did you deleted it

[sahydyxh]

This drug ruined my life and many others
