  • I added Dutasteride to Finasteride for Hair Loss, to improve the results. However, the risks of having side effects are also much higher! Here's what happened!

    I started balding when I was early in age 15. Turns out it was because of stress and tension which thins the hairs on predisposed balding people . My grandpa's and dad are bald. So naturally I will go bald to. My hair is actually very similar to yours in terms of color and the way it was balding. I just want to say your transformation has inspired me to take treatment more seriously.

    One of the biggest myths online is that DHT is a sex hormone. It really isn’t and most doctors who specialize in this field agree. DHT is mainly important for sexual development as a fetus. It’s a paracrine hormone, not an endocrine hormone like Testosterone is. So it’s not systemically active like T is and is only active in the tissues (hair, scalp, prostate) wherein it is produced. The very few who get side effects I think isn’t even related to DHT being blocked but due to the drug itself through an unknown mechanism because in many other studies when you block 100% of DHT side effects are extremely rare and typically when you see a hormone that’s essential or important for sexual health being blocked, almost all the men will get side effects. For example, block Testosterone or Estrogen in men by half or completely and you’ll have all of them get side effects, not just less than 2%.

      ​@@Bryce433Doesn't matter if dht is a sex hormone or not. When blocking dht it is possible for T levels to increase but estrogen is increased as well. SHBG can also increase which decreases your free testosterone. So believe whatever you want but the side effects of fin and dut are a very real possibility. Ask me how I know, took fin for 15 years and dut for 4. Had my bloodwork done multiple times and it did f with my hormones

    Hey! I really appreciate the insight on dutasteride that you have given, especially regarding your circumstances for using it. I think you mentioned in the video that you're planning on using finasteride for 6 days out of the week and using one of the other days with a 0.5mg dose of DUT. If you end up having no side effects from the drug, would you consider bumping up the dose to taking it every 2-3 days out of the week along with finasteride or taking it every day? I've been trying to look up information online about how often you should take DUT and whether or not you can take it with finasteride. So far from what I've found is that Dutasteride is meant to be taken every day at a 0.5mg dose, but I'm not sure if this is taking into account whether you're already taking finasteride with DUT. Please let me know your thoughts as I have been wanting to start taking dutasteride since it's been two years after I started taking fin in 1mg doses every day yet I have not seen much of an improvement in hair regrowth.

    Hey mate!
    Been on fin since 19 (currently 23) and it stabilised my hair a lot. 2 years in, started to lose results so I implemented dut meso which worked wonders 5-8 months in. Coming up to 1.5 years in, I have e noticed my results are starting to decline again (miniaturising at the hairline). Would you say the 6 / 1 protocol would be the next step? Minox, microneedling haven't helped.

    • @algarrido
      @algarrido  Před 9 měsíci

      It's unfortunate that Minoxidil didn't work, because that's honestly the best option to continue improving the hair. Maybe you are a low responder to Minoxidil. But if you use Minoxidil + Tretinoin, you can convert to a responder, especially when combined with derma rolling.

    Hi. I’ve been on fin for 6 months and min for 1.5 years. The first few months of fin I noticed shedding. It has definitely slowed down since then but I still get hair loss on my hairline. And I know this because the hairs have a curl to them and the only place I have curls is the cowlick at my hairline. This is a bit concerning since what I want to improve the most is my hairline. I’m wondering if I should switch to dut or at least once a week with fin or wait a whole year? There are definitely a lot of little hairs there but they don’t seem to grow at all! Or I guess if they do they all fall 😭 thoughts?

At the moment, 2 months have already passed, the hair began to fall out a little less, but I noticed that my entire front hairline has thin hairs 5-6 centimeters long, like they were before.

      I also experienced bad anxiety, which I didn't realize was even a side effect of this drug initially. My anxiety was very bad the first 1-2 months after stopping and has gotten progressively better. It's been about a year since I stopped. The anxiety still comes back occasionally but a lot better now. I also had a very dramatic loss of libido. This has gotten better but has not recovered completely yet, but it is finally considerably better. However, its been a very hard year out of my life.

    I was dutasteride 3/week for the past 3 months but I am still losing my hair in the shower and when it is too much oily.
    From now on switched to 6/week, I hope it stops shedding now.

      It’s takes up to 6 months to a year to see results. Shedding might be normal, remember the hair have different cycles. Maybe you’re getting rid of the hairs that were going to fall anyways. Also it’s normal to loose hair everyday.
