Dutasteride
Dutasteride, or otherwise known as Avodart is a 0.5mg soft capsule that is actually licesed for use in benign prostate hyperplasia. It does however indirectly help with male pattern baldness.
Like Propecia, this drug treatment is only suitable for men.
Dutasteride works in the same way Propecia does., by inhibiting both Type I and Type II 5-alpha reductase enzymes responsible for the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
In doing so it reduces the level of DHT in the scalp which can shorten the hair growth cycle and allows hairs to revert back to a normal growth cycle.
Dutasteride capusules are taken once daily and must be used for 3-6 months is crucial before results start to show.
