Locklab + Dutasteride

New!

Locklab + Dutasteride

Minoxidil 5mg | Dutasteride 0.1mg | Finasteride 1.1mg | Biotin 1mg

The pill

Regrow hair with Locklab and stop hair loss with dutasteride; the heaviest ammunition available to fight off DHT (the hormone that’s attacking your hair follicles).

The science

Oral dutasteride, 0.1mg | Blocks both type I and type II 5-alpha reductase enzymes to stop hair loss when nothing else will.

Locklab vs others

Only Locklab + Dutasteride combines these four ingredients, at this strength, in a single daily pill. With treatment starting at just $39 a month for a 5 month plan, we've made the smartest, most affordable way to fight hair loss a total no-brainer.

What is dutasteride?

Dutasteride treats hair loss by blocking a hormone called DHT—the main cause of male pattern baldness. Your body primarily makes DHT using two types of 5AR enzymes: Type 1 and Type 2. Finasteride blocks Type 2, while dutasteride blocks both Type 1 and 2. Think of Type 2 as the main engine driving hair loss—and Type 1 as the backup generator. Finasteride shuts off the engine. Dutasteride shuts off the generator.

Who is dutasteride best for?

We recommend starting with Locklab and switching to Locklab + Dutasteride if you need something stronger to stop hair loss. Locklab + Dutasteride is stronger, but it is only necessary for the minority—if you believe you are still losing hair while taking standard Locklab, or if finasteride alone has not been effective for you in the past.

What makes this combo different?

Locklab + Dutasteride is still a regrowth-forward medication. Your primary hair regrowth comes from oral minoxidil, that’s why Locklab + Dutasteride is a 4-in-1 pill—because different ingredients improve your hair in different ways. Dutasteride’s role is to fight off DHT—the hormone that is otherwise constantly attacking your hair follicles. Since dutasteride blocks more DHT than other treatments, it is the best medication in the world at what it does. In conjunction, finasteride is the most widely researched and trusted hair loss medication available so it’s the perfect base for stopping hair loss. Finasteride shifts the medication toward blocking more of the Type 2 5AR enzyme—the main culprit for hair loss.

Why don’t you recommend dutasteride for everyone?

At Locklab, we always recommend the minimum effective dose—meaning the lowest dose that gives you the results you expect. It’s best to only take as much medication as you actually need. If you have successfully stopped hair loss with finasteride, there’s little to no reason to add in dutasteride.

How will I know if it’s NOT working?

If you're here to regrow hair and have not seen regrowth after 13 months of using any version of Locklab, it's no longer possible.  If you're here to stop further balding, and you're still losing hair after 6 months of switching to Locklab + Dutasteride, please message your provider to increase the dose of dutasteride. Increasing the dose is the final step you can take—after this, no prescription medication currently on the market can give improved results. But please reach out to our Care Team—it would be our pleasure to consult with you on non-drug-related options. We provide this service for free and do not get any commission for what we recommend.

What you need to know

Hair regrowth is dose-dependent, and oral treatments allow a more concentrated and effective dose through systemic absorption—all while being easier to use consistently.

Hair transplants

Very high

$$$$$

What you need to know

Hair transplants are a high-cost, high-efficacy treatment that still require medication to maintain—without which your hair quality will continue to worsen and fall out.

Topical treatments

Medium

$$$$$

What you need to know

While topicals can help slow hair loss, research shows just 40% of people regrow hair using topicals due to an inability to absorb the minoxidil through the scalp.

Hair loss shampoos

Low

Shampoos only sit on the surface briefly and fail to address the underlying causes of hair thinning or loss. While they can leave your hair feeling better, they rarely deliver transformative results.

Vitamins & supplements

What you need to know

Supplements are only effective if a specific deficiency is causing the problem, or for the 10% of people experiencing a type of temporary hair loss—called ‘telogen effluvium’—that typically resolves on its own without treatment.
