Asked by Male, 33 · 2 months ago
Yes, Dutas Capsule (Dutasteride) is commonly prescribed once daily for male pattern hair loss and is intended for long-term use. However, a 15-day refill after 30 days could be planned to assess your response to treatment, or it may be a prescription error. You should contact your dermatologist to confirm the correct dosage and duration.
