Why should I switch to Dutasteride ?
You and your doctor will have to decide that, but many men are switching to Dutasteride , because dutasteride, the active drug in it, inhibits the enzyme that seems to cause male pattern baldness much more completely than Propecia (finasteride) . Whether that connects to greater hair growth or less hair loss remains to be proven. Most men who switch are doing so because they have noted a progression of hair loss after being on Propecia for a number of years.
