What are the advantages?
Once daily tablet that is licensed for hair loss
Dutasteride
A potent DHT Blocker that reduces up to 20% more DHT than Finasteride.

The science behind how DHT Blockers work
Dr. Earim Chaudry, Medical Director
Why we lose hair
DHT (a male hormone) shrinks your hair follicles causing hair thinning, and eventually baldness.
Finasteride
Finasteride prevents hair loss by blocking 5-alpha reductase enzyme Type I, reducing DHT levels by 70%
Dutasteride
Dutasteride prevents hair loss by blocking both Type I and Type II 5-alpha-reductase enzymes, reducing DHT levels by 90%
What’s the difference between Finasteride and Dutasteride

FAQ
Read me, I’m important
What is male pattern baldness?
Male pattern baldness (MPB), androgenetic alopecia, male pattern hair loss – call it what you will. If you have a receding hairline or balding crown, the single most common cause is your hormones. Specifically, that’s dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone your body converts from testosterone. DHT binds to your hair follicles and causes them to shrink, weaken, and stop producing hair. That’s MPB in a nutshell.
How do DHT blockers work?
DHT blockers work by targeting the production of DHT. Remember that DHT is made from the conversion of testosterone, which is done using an enzyme called 5-alpha-Reductase. DHT blockers bind to this enzyme, preventing it from producing DHT.This reduces the circulating level of DHT, explaining the role of DHT blockers in hair loss prevention. Many treatments for male pattern baldness only seek to manage the symptoms of the condition. But by using an effective DHT blocker you can tackle the cause of MPB directly and fight hair loss head-on.
Does it really reverse hair loss?
There are no better 5-alpha reductase inhibitors on the market for hair loss.
Finasteride causes DHT levels to drop by 60%. Meanwhile, three 5-year Finasteride studies showed 9/10 participants saw their hair loss stop – and more than 3/4 experienced hair regrowth. So, yes, Finasteride does really reverse hair loss. It is an FDA-approved treatment for MPB, and it is used by thousands of men in the UK.
How long will it take to see results?
It typically takes 3-6 months before you see any changes, and at least 12 months before you notice significant hair growth. Finasteride works with the natural cycle of shedding and growth – and, unfortunately, these things just take time. Stay committed and take your daily dose – and you’ll see noticeably better hair within a year. When you use Finasteride, persistence and patience are key.
What are the side effects?
98.6% of patients during clinical trials did not experience significant adverse effects. Although side effects are rare, it may include a rash, tenderness around the nipple and decreased libido.
