3 Weeks on Dut:

I have had no side effects. But that is not surprising since the reported 3% (vs. 2% placebo) for sexual side effects is statistically small. My dandruff is gone but I have also just started using a prescription med for dandruff so I am unsure whether there is a Dut connection. My hair and scalp seem very dry, but again, it may be the topical dandruff medication or even just the cold weather. I cannot report a reduction in facial skin oil but then I have never had oily skin (I tend to have dry skin particularly in the winter). While I like the conjecture that Dut will reduce body hair and slow beard growth, I am unconvinced that .5mg of Dut will have much effect (re: body hair and beard) on a man with normal Testosterone levels. Still, I am considering shaving my hairy back on the hope that the hair will grow back thinner. Current Dosing: .5 mg daily in morning on empty stomach (for first two weeks I took .5mg with grapefruit juice in morning on empty stomach).
