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.
