Dutasteride reduces DHT levels more effectively than finasteride by inhibiting both types of 5-alpha reductase enzymes. Lowering DHT helps slow or reverse male pattern hair loss.
Dutasteride is stronger and longer-acting than finasteride, offering more complete DHT suppression, though it is not FDA-approved for hair loss in the U.S. (only for BPH).
Men with more advanced hair loss or those who haven’t responded well to finasteride may benefit.
Dutasteride is for male pattern hair loss in men only, and is not for women or children.
Pregnant women should not handle crushed or broken capsules due to fetal risk. See pricing details here.

How effective is Dutasteride?

90%

Clinical studies show Dutasteride is significantly more effective than Finasteride at increasing hair count and halting progression of male pattern hair loss. In a 24-week randomized trial, Dutasteride 0.5 mg daily increased hair count by more than 100 hairs within a 2.54 cm² area, compared to about 75 hairs with finasteride 1 mg.
Dutasteride works by blocking both type I and type II 5-alpha reductase enzymes, leading to a greater reduction in DHT levels—up to 90%, compared to about 70% with finasteride.
