Stronger DHT suppression for advanced hair loss
Pricing varies by protocol
Dutasteride is a dual 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks both Type I and Type II enzymes, reducing DHT levels by up to 90% — significantly more than finasteride. While prescribed off-label for hair loss, clinical evidence shows it can be more effective than finasteride for men with moderate-to-advanced androgenetic alopecia.

Start Your EvaluationDutasteride at RenewRx starts at $149/month. That includes your provider consultation, protocol design, and lab monitoring every 90 days — there is no separate membership fee stacked on top. Final pricing depends on the dose and protocol your clinician prescribes after reviewing your bloodwork.
RenewRx dispenses compounded dutasteride from a licensed 503A pharmacy. Compounded medications are prepared for an individual patient and are not FDA-approved. The FDA-approved branded version is Avodart (approved for enlarged prostate). This use is also off-label, meaning it's prescribed at your clinician's discretion outside the approved indication. We'd rather tell you that plainly than let you assume otherwise — your provider will walk you through what it means before you start.
A daily oral capsule. It blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, the hormone primarily responsible for male pattern hair loss.
Slowed loss is usually apparent by three to four months. Visible regrowth, where it happens, typically takes six to twelve months.
Sexual side effects — reduced libido, erectile difficulty, decreased ejaculate volume — are the ones that matter most to discuss. They affect a minority of men but are real, and for some they persist after stopping. Your provider should raise this before you start, not after.
Yes. Every RenewRx protocol begins with a lab panel reviewed by a licensed provider before anything is prescribed. We won't write a prescription off a questionnaire alone. Labs are rechecked every 90 days so your dose is adjusted to how you're actually responding — not to how you're expected to respond.
Dutasteride blocks both forms of the DHT-converting enzyme; finasteride blocks one. That makes dutasteride more potent, with a correspondingly higher chance of side effects. Finasteride is FDA-approved for hair loss; dutasteride is not, and is prescribed off-label. More potent isn't automatically better for you.
Most of the benefit fades once you stop, because these therapies manage a condition rather than cure it. That said, the goal isn't to keep you on medication forever — your provider will talk with you about duration, tapering, and what an exit looks like. If a clinic never raises that conversation, ask why.
No contract, and no lock-in. Our protocols are structured as three-month programs because that's the window where the physiology actually shows up — hormone and peptide therapy needs time, plus at least one lab recheck, before anyone can honestly say whether it's working. You're committing to giving the protocol a fair trial, not to a contractual obligation.
