Dutasteride? Wot is ur opinion? Also, how long will it take before i see results or
signs thats its working? Thx for ur comments.

I am pretty sure that they are both exactly the same.
The only major difference is that propecia has been manufactured specifically to be taken as a daily oral medication. Propecia is the brand name for Finestride. Finestride and Dutasteride are essentially exactly the same. They were both designed to fight prostate cancer.
Finestride was also issued a license to be used as a hair loss medication - via brand name Propecia.
Some people use Dut off-label but i have heard that the strength of dut is smore powerful than the equivalnet to Finesteride....(to confuse you more Proscar is also a similar medicaiton....) Hope that a help

Your hairloss is pretty advanced - conventional wisdom would tell you to forget it - buzz your head and move on.
However if you do want to give it a go you will have to hit the problem hard.
Firstly get on finasteride whether it be propecia , proscar, finast etc.
You will need to use a regrowth agent - minoxidil (rogaine)
Also nizoral shampoo has anti androgenic properties.
Retin A twice a week will help improve absorbtion of the minox.
Dont expect miracles.

Ey dude...your hairloss seems pretty advanced over there....Don't get me wrong with what I m going to tell you but if I was you I would consider a hair transplant. I have undergone a hair transplant almost 6 months ago and the results are excellent and I am veryhappy with my results.

I chose the FUE method, hairs are taken one by one from the back of your head and are transplanted on the top of my head. The method I chose was Direct hair transplantation.
Believe me I am not telling you for any personal gain but I can assure you that it really works. Beside the procedure has no pain at all.
