Is Dutasteride stronger than Finasteride for hair loss?

Dutasteride and Finasteride are both 5-alpha reductase inhibitor medications that are commonly used for hair loss in men by helping to block DHT production. Dutasteride has been found to block DHT more strongly than Finasteride, potentially because Dutasteride blocks both 5-alpha reductase type 1 & 2, while Finasteride only blocks 5-alpha reductase type 2. Both medications are effective for male pattern hair loss, but Dutasteride may lead to more hair regrowth than Finasteride.

How does each Dutasteride Custom Hair Loss Formula work?

Strut Topical Dutasteride Formula: Strut Men’s Dutasteride Hair Loss Formula contains a combination of prescription and nonprescription ingredients that target hair loss prevention and potential hair regrowth. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor medication used off-label to reduce the amount of DHT in the scalp and help preserve your existing hair. Minoxidil is a vasodilator that may help reduce shedding, increase hair growth, and thicken hair follicles. Tretinoin is a vitamin A derivative that may help stimulate hair growth and exfoliate the scalp to help the medications penetrate deeper. Fluocinolone is a mild topical corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation. Your doctor will choose the ingredients and strengths that are best suited for you and your hair loss goals. Strut Compounded Dutasteride Capsules: Dutasteride is a 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor medication that is being used off-label for male pattern hair loss. Dutasteride works on the scalp by blocking the enzyme which converts Testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It has been discovered that DHT can play a role in male pattern hair loss. Once DHT is indirectly blocked by Dutasteride, you may experience a reduction in hair loss and a general maintenance of the hair you currently have. Sometimes, Dutasteride will even regrow some of the lost hair, but the main goal is reducing additional hair loss.

Does topical Dutasteride have good scalp absorption?

Dutasteride may have reduced scalp penetration as compared to topical Finasteride formulations due to the larger molecule size of Dutasteride. To help overcome the increased molecular size of Dutasteride, we have formulated our topical Dutasteride formula with DMSO to increase solubility and drive the formula into the scalp, as well as Tretinoin which has shown promise in increasing the bioavailability of topically applied hair loss ingredients like Minoxidil. If patients are concerned about the bioavailability of a topical formulation, we would suggest that they use the formulation along with a microneedling device which can help enhance penetration. In this study, researchers looked into microneedling with topical Dutasteride + Minoxidil vs microneedling with Minoxidil alone, and found better androgenetic alopecia improvements with the Dutasteride group: https://smj.journals.ekb.eg/article_42083_24b61cbba4be9982db23c318414034c0.pdf

If I'm currently using another hair loss product, will a switch cause shedding?

There is not usually a shedding period if you are switching from an oral Finasteride or Dutasteride to topical Finasteride or Dutasteride, or from a topical to an oral form. However, if you have been using a topical Minoxidil (the active ingredient in Rogaine) product and you are switching to a medication that does not contain Minoxidil, you may see shedding. To help avoid this shedding, you can do a slow taper of the Minoxidil product over 6-8 weeks while transitioning to the new product, or you can make sure there is Minoxidil in your new formula.

This company is awesome. Their online consultation is quick, and convenient. I was prescribed my medications (Topical Dutasteride/Minoxidil/Tretinoin), and had them shipped out within a few days. Super easy process, and ordering experience. I highly recommend this company.

As of right now I'm very content with the service and product provided. Sign up was simple.
Bryan O.
Pretty impressed with this! It’s a lot better than taking the finasteride pill everyday and it is easy to apply! The consultation was quick and easy, and I was able to get all my questions answered quickly! Shipping was fast too! It’s a little too early to tell how the topical hair treatment will work for me, but after a week of using it, people did say there was something different about my hair. In a good way! I don’t think it works that fast, but it was definitely encouraging!

I am two months in and I am beginning to see results.
Sean G.
Regarding the process of getting prescribed and receiving the product, it was quick and easy, no complaints. I have only been using the dutasteride gel for a few weeks so I cannot comment on its effectiveness at this time.
Gregory B.
I've tried a few of their products; their catalog offers a variety of treatments and they take feedback well. In addition, their formulas are much more up-to-date with the current scientific studies available (one of the only companies to offer Topical Dutasteride, .6mg Dutasteride, Brightly formula with Acetyl Hexapeptide, etc). None of the major Telehealth brands like Hims or Roman have this innovation. To top it off, the 2-day shipping is super convenient; pharmaceutical grade products with 2-day shipping is what makes me think of a Telehealth version of Amazon! Happy customer so far!
Colin
Great customer service and the Doctors were very thorough in explaining the process and how the products works!
Ola O.
Everything processed quickly and shipping was great! Very convenient!
