Dutasteride Dutasteride, like finasteride, inhibits the action of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase and hence blocks the production of DHT. However, there are in fact two forms of 5-alpha reductase and whereas finasteride only inhibits one type, dutasteride inhibits both types. At the time of writing Dutasteride is to be used for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). However, there is much speculation that this substance would be a very effective treatment for hair loss and it is hoped by many that clinical trials specifically related to hair loss will be concluded. Like finasteride, it would be a male only treatment and, because of the nature of its action, could give rise to side effects such as loss of sexual appetite in certain individuals. 

Q) Can lotions be guaranteed to work? A) No, but it is possible to give a good indication of how likely they are to work for a particular individual . In general, lotions work best on thinned areas rather than completely bald areas. The most widely used lotion is Minoxidil - either in its generic form or as Regaine/Rogaine. This substance has proven itself over many years to be an effective aid to both hair growth and in slowing hair loss. It is becoming increasingly well documented that certain additives appear to enhance the effectiveness of minoxidil or have a direct beneficial effect in their own right
