A member asked:
Dutasteride 0.5 mgs. is about equal to how many milligrams of finasteride for an enlarged prostate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
5 mg ....: The formulation of these two drugs with 0.5 mg for dutasteride and 5 mg for finasteride is approximated to be equal although in clinical study indicating dutasteride has faster effect and slight edge over finasteride. But, in practice, I do not prefer either one because at the end, they are about the same. More? Ask your urologist. Best wish...
