IF propecia doesn't work for you ,don't put too much expectation on Avodart!!! Because they both base on the same theroy of hairloss,so if propecia doesn't work for you then properly the cause that you loos hair is not because of the DHT.And also I think none of the hereditery thing eg.your color of your skin ,your color of your hair and etc can be corrected of change by using drugs of any medicine.!So I think before the techlonogy of gene therapy mature ,hairloss can not be corrected!!!

Re: Don't put too much expectation on Avodart Oh my Son..I'm sorry to say that you HAVEN'T done your research on hairloss and DHT very well. There are TWO types of 5-alpha reductase that produce DHT buddy boy! Type I and II. Propecia only blocks Type II which is mostly found in the Prostate. Whereas Avodart is a DUAL blocker and blocks both types. Type I is the MAJOR cause of Hairloss dude. Propecia doesn't block Type I..Avodart does..So Avodart will be much much better at regrowing hair. My only concern with this drug is the LOW Dosage...only 0.5mg!Peace!

Re: Don't put too much expectation on Avodart this is all true you should do a search on the avodart like i just did,it says at .5mg it makes more new hairs then propecia at 5.0mg and at 2.5mg avodart makes almost twice the amount of hairs.avodart blocks both types of dht and at .5mg it blok up to 90% of dht and at 2.5mg about 100%.im using avacor right now and it does seem to work but im still loseing hair.im frontal hairline is comming back in slowly but i do see a difference.i hope that avodart isnt to expencive also i think its goona start sales in dec if i read correct.

Re: Don't put too much expectation on Avodart Oh my Son..type 1 is NOT the major cause of hairloss. There have been type-1 5-alpha reductase inhibitors studied that didn't do diddly squat for hairloss.Member12705 said: Oh my Son..I'm sorry to say that you HAVEN'T done your research on hairloss and DHT very well.

Re: Don't put too much expectation on Avodart Well of course I know that Avodart can block both of the DHT,but take a look at propecia.I think the power of propecia is not as good as you expected before you all take it right?! What I think is none of the pharmacy company now is doing a very serious research on the reason and the method of curing hairloss.The reason that I think so is because all the drugs or medicine available in the market now was not invented for curing hairloss in the beginning.The people found out the drugs have a positive effect for curing hairloss unexpectedly!That means none of the company is really very seriously developing drugs for hairloss.That why I think there are still a lot of reason that can induce or cause hairloss.Rightnow DHT is one of the most possible reason for that ,but when you take a look at the effect of propecia you will find out that it doesn't really work very well(properly work quite well on somebody). Besides if DHT is the only reason for hairloss then why Avodart and Propecia work better at the back .It suppose to work amost the same at the back and even at the frontal hairline right?

Re: Don't put too much expectation on Avodart If by "work" you mean reduces DHT, then yes. But will it stop hairloss equally in back and front? No. Member12145 said: Well of course I know that Avodart can block both of the DHT,but take a look at propecia.I think the power of propecia is not as good as you expected before you all take it right?!

Besides if DHT is the only reason for hairloss then why Avodart and Propecia work better at the back .It suppose to work amost the same at the back and even at the frontal hairline right?According to your logic, since there is no "cure" for cancer, AIDS, or the common cold, that there is no "serious research" on the method for curing those illnesses? Give me a break! The reason that Avodart has not been released for hairloss earlier (at all) is because they are worried about the side effects...it is considered a "dangerous drug", according to DR. Lee. They are worried about the long-term side effects from someone in there 20s-30s taking it for the rest of their lives when Avodart has ONLY been approved for the use on BPH,(NOT MPB) which typically only occurs in males over 50. They know exactly what causes MPB hair loss, they just do not know how to "cure" it yet. There is research being done, the amount of $ involved in finding a cure is too great for there not to be.
