>I take dutasteride and apply topical minoxidil daily.

This is so extremely harmful. I wish you the best of luck.

Edit: To whoever I upset, yes it is harmful to suppress your sexual hormones daily. Originally it was never intended for hair loss but for prostate cancer until Merck & Co. figured out they could market it as a 'hair loss pill'. You will find the popularity of fin/dut inflated on Reddit these days as (paid) moderators will remove anyone who speaks against it even those with first hand horror stories.

Not everyone is affected by the side effects you are mentioning. If 100 % of men were experiencing them I doubt Dutasterid would still be such a popular drug for bph

Let me be clear: hormone suppression is not a "side effect" it is the effect. Ironically, the side effect is the hair growth.

Edit: systemic effect is not 0% even with topical, enters your bloodstream nonetheless. To respond to the guy marketing below (HN limiting replies).

Most men won't care if hormones on their scalp are suppressed

Bro, side effects include breast cancer and psychosis.

Everything has horrific side effects - as per your two examples.

What really matters is the prevalence...
