Drug & Dose Breadth
High
The range of hair-loss treatments offered — dutasteride, doses above 1mg, and topical finasteride or dutasteride, beyond the default oral finasteride.
Why it matters
People respond differently, and some do better on alternatives to standard oral finasteride. A broader menu means the provider can adjust rather than leaving you on the one option that did not work.
How we assess it
We inventory the drug and dose options.
- Dutasteride availability
- Doses above the standard 1mg
- Topical finasteride / dutasteride options
Source types: The provider’s published treatment and formulation menu.
How we score it
A broad, adjustable menu scores high; oral-finasteride-only scores lower.
- Importance
- High
High — a heavily weighted tier within hair loss.
- Scope
- Dermatology / Hair Loss overlay
What this tier is worth
Tiers carry fixed weights: Critical 5, High 3, Medium 2, Supporting 1. A score is the weighted mean of the factors we could establish, so you can recompute any of ours by hand — the methodology page works one through end to end.
Not medical advice
This factor rates how openly a provider discloses its process — not whether a treatment is right for you. That decision belongs with a licensed clinician who knows your history. Nothing here is medical advice.
