Both medications work in a similar way, lowering DHT levels. However, Avodart inhibits the action of two types of 5-alpha-reductase enzymes (type I and type II). Propecia (Finasteride) only inhibits one type of the enzyme (type II). Avodart is more potent. Avodart has been shown to decrease levels of DHT by about 30% more than Proepcia (Finasteride).
