Here is one past post on such meds to help anyone else: http://ferrethealth.org/archive/FHL7070 > From: [log in to unmask] > Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2008 12:46:06 EST > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Proscar, Propecia, Avodart? > >Great question. Proscar/Propecia block the 5 alpha reductase II >enzyne, and Avodart blocks 5 alpha reductase II AND I enzyme. Thus >Avodart works a little bit better. As for doses Proscar/Propecia 1 mg >once a day for 1-2 months (ie till the prostate shrinks) then 0.1 mg >once a day after that to keep the prostate from "growing." A suggested >dose for Avodart is 0.05 mg (1/10 of the capsule) once a day. After >the prostate shrinks then >0.05 mg every other day. There has not been much work with Avodart in >dogs or ferrrets, so the dose may change with time.
