Is topical Dutasteride as effective as the tablet?Updated 3 days ago

Dutasteride is available in oral tablet or topical solution form, they both work. It is a medication that should only be used by men over 18 who are suffering from androgenic alopecia. The advantage of topical Dutasteride is that it's directly applied to the scalp where it's needed most, so a lower dose of Dutasteride is required, significantly lowering the risks of systemic side effects which have been reported with oral tablets (1). 

These side effects have been documented to range from reduced libido, impaired sperm count, erectile dysfunction, risk of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. 

At Dense, we have made treating hair loss easy by developing a topical Minoxidil spray fortified with Dutasteride providing you with all the hair growth power in a single convenient application.
