Abstract in brief

  • The study evaluated the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of daily dutasteride (0.5 mg) in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), over a period of 52 weeks, involving 120 patients with most completing the treatment.
  • Common mild side effects included nasopharyngitis, erectile dysfunction, and decreased libido, with drug-related adverse events occurring in 17% of participants, but no one withdrew from the study due to these effects.
  • The results showed significant improvements in hair count, hair thickness, and overall hair appearance, suggesting that dutasteride could be a safe and effective long-term treatment option for male pattern hair loss.]

Are you Losing hair? Male pattern baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia, AGA) progresses in stages: initial hair loss begins at the temporal scalp, gradually receding upward, & often converges with thinning at the vertex. Early identification is critical for effective management.
