| Main Purpose: | Long Term Maintenance, better regrowth than Propecia | |
| Overview: | Dutasteride is the newest treatment on the market that may soon be approved by the FDA for treatment of hair loss. It is in the class of DHT inhibitors, however it inhibits both types of 5-Alpha enzyme whereas Propecia inhibits only one.

Propecia does this by inhibiting the creation of DHT in your system. If you are trying to regrow large amounts of lost hair, you should consider a combination regimen of Propecia and Minoxidil for best results. | |
| Main Purpose: | Stimulating Regrowth | |
| Overview: | Minoxidil's claim to fame is stimulating growth. 59% experienced increased hair-count after 4 month of use. Minoxidil does not inhibit one of the main causes of thinning hair, DHT. Minoxidil products should be used in conjunction with other treatments like Propecia, if you are trying to regrow a significant amount of hair. May also be a good hair maintenance tool on its own. | |
