Product Function:

• Dutasteride is marketed pharmaceutically as Avodart, Avidart, Avolve, Duagen, Dutas, Dutagen, Duprost. For unknown reasons, early clinical trials for dutasteride were abruptly ceased in 2002, then continued later.
• Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, meaning it blocks the action of the 5a-reducatse enzymes, that are responsible for 5a-reducing (converting) testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the addition of a double hydrogen bond.
• Dutasteride inhibits both isoforms of 5a-reductase, therefore preventing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. This makes Dutasteride a reasonable treatment for Male Pattern Baldness. Of course, when you convert less Testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone, you increase testosterone levels by default (less conversion).

Dutasteride VS Finasteride

Dutasteride and finasteride are very similar drugs. The following table lists their features.

*Finasteride can also be used to treat male pattern hair loss.
**Treatment usually continues for the rest of your life.

The main difference between dutasteride and finasteride is the intensity of the effect. Finasteride 1mg blocks about 70% of DHT, whereas dutasteride 0.5mg blocks more than 90%. This means that dutasteride is more effective at stopping the conversion of testosterone into DHT. Since DHT is what causes hair loss, this results in more hair regrowth and thickening of existing miniaturized hairs compared to finasteride.
