Is thpro scientific evidence that Avodart (Dutasteride) works?
GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Dutasteride, has completed Phase II trials for the FDA approval of Dutasteride as a treatment for hair loss. After six months of treatment, hair counts measured in a 1 inch diameter increased by about 96 hairs with 0.5mg of Dutasteride. This is compared with an increase of only 72 hairs with the administration of 5mg Finasteride (Propecia). Results so far are very promising, however the FDA has yet to approve the medication for the treatment of hair loss.
