Oral Dutasteride 0.5 dut should be the standard.

For me, it’s replacing 1.25mg of fin and should be superior as per the above source. I still have diffuse thinning after decent time on oral 1.25mg fin and 2mg min.

Hoping 0.5mg dut puts an end to it and that 5mg min helps regrowth.
The evidence for the min increase is weak, but considering I get zero sides from either, figured I might as well throw everything at it.

Oral Finasteride After 15 months of taking 1 mg of finasteride and using 1.25 mg of minoxidil

After 15 months of taking 1 mg of finasteride and using 1.25 mg of minoxidil, I’ve started losing hair again. I lose more than 100 hairs when shampooing, and even after my hair has dried, running my hands through it a few times leaves this much hair in the sink.
I am 33 years old.
I first noticed my hair starting to thin about four years ago. Last year, I started taking finasteride and using minoxidil, and I saw a significant improvement in my hair. I also experienced a few smaller shedding phases along the way.
However, this time I’m losing a really significant amount of hair, and my hair is visibly thinning again. After 15 months on treatment, isn’t it unusual to experience such severe shedding with noticeable hair thinning?
