Dutasteride can be used for seborrheic alopecia, male pattern baldness, prostate enlargement, and hereditary alopecia (women and children should not take it).

So, how effective is dutasteride in treating hair loss and what are its side effects?

How effective is Dutasteride in treating hair loss?

Dutasteride is very effective for hair loss. It can treat seborrheic alopecia or hereditary alopecia in men caused by excessive secretion of male hormones. The effect is relatively obvious, but it is not suitable for women and children. In terms of efficacy, it is more powerful than finasteride. Dutasteride can reduce DHT in the scalp by 51%-79%, while finasteride can only reduce it by 34%-41%.

When patients take dutasteride to treat hair loss, it exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the enzyme 5α-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone to DHT. When patients experience obvious symptoms of hair loss, they need to go to the dermatology department of the hospital for a detailed examination. After the specific cause is clarified, reasonable drugs can be used to improve the hair loss.

What are the side effects of Dutasteride?

Dutasteride can cause allergic reactions in patients, including rash, urticaria, pruritus, local edema and angioedema, as well as gynecomastia (including breast enlargement and breast tenderness), impotence, ejaculation disorders and reduced sexual desire. It is recommended that patients take medication as directed by their doctor and receive symptomatic treatment. The above is the effect and side effects of dutasteride in treating hair loss.
