Dutasteride
Capsules

Oral Dutasteride is a once-daily capsule available in two options: a 0.1mg capsule compounded with biotin, and a retail 0.5mg capsule with no biotin. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks both Type 1 and Type 2 enzymes responsible for converting testosterone into DHT, the hormone associated with male pattern hair loss.*

No. Two capsule options are available. The 0.1mg capsule is compounded with biotin. The 0.5mg capsule is a retail, manufactured product, so it is not compounded and does not contain biotin. You can state a preference during your online visit, and your Strut physician confirms which dose is appropriate for you.

Dutasteride may reduce DHT levels in the scalp by approximately 90% by blocking both isoforms of 5-alpha reductase. Lower DHT may slow follicle miniaturization and support healthier hair growth over time.*

Oral Dutasteride works systemically and produces a higher level of DHT reduction. Topical Dutasteride acts more locally at the scalp and may reduce systemic exposure. Your Strut physician will help you decide which option fits your goals.

It may take 3 to 6 months to begin seeing results, and up to 12 months for full results. Consistency is the most important variable.*

Dutasteride blocks both Type 1 and Type 2 5-alpha reductase, while finasteride blocks Type 2 only. As a result, dutasteride generally produces greater DHT suppression. Your physician will help decide which option is appropriate for you.

DHT levels return to baseline over time after stopping, and the hair benefits achieved while on therapy will gradually be lost. Ongoing use is required to maintain results.

Dutasteride is FDA-approved for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), not for hair loss. Use for hair loss is off-label and supervised by a licensed physician. Compounded Dutasteride is not FDA-approved.

Dutasteride lowers DHT, not testosterone. Testosterone levels often remain stable or rise slightly during treatment. Most patients do not notice changes in libido or energy, but any concerns should be discussed with your physician.

Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased semen volume, breast tenderness or enlargement, and mood changes. Most side effects are uncommon and reversible after stopping treatment.
