Since Finpecia (finasteride) hasn't been effective, discussing a switch to Duprost (dutasteride) with a dermatologist is a very reasonable next step. Dutasteride is more potent because it blocks more of the hormone responsible for hair thinning. A doctor can certainly prescribe it for you, though it is often prescribed off-label for hair loss. Because it is a stronger medication, a healthcare provider will want to review your medical history and discuss potential side effects first. Please consult a specialist to safely guide you through this transition.

Since Finpecia 1mg has not helped my hair thinning after 18 months, should I switch to Duprost (dutasteride), and will a doctor prescribe it for me?
