Abstract in brief

  • Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride in promoting hair regrowth and reversing miniaturization in men with androgenetic alopecia, as it blocks both type I and II 5-alpha reductase enzymes, leading to greater increases in hair count.
  • In a 24-week study with 90 men aged 18-40, dutasteride significantly improved hair density and reduced thin hair more than finasteride, with similar, reversible side effects predominantly affecting sexual function.
  • The study's limitations include its short duration, small sample size, and open-label design, which suggest that further research is needed to confirm long-term safety and efficacy.
