BioHack Track models Dutasteride (Avodart) at a half-life of 720 hours, so every dose you log is decayed against that curve and the app shows estimated active levels — not just what you typed.
An FDA-approved product containing this compound exists, and its label is linked under Primary sources below. That label is the authority on dosing; the range on this page describes what people commonly track, including off-label use, and does not replace it.
Oral capsule; no reconstitution needed.
Store at room temperature.
Very long half-life means side effects (if they occur) can persist for weeks after stopping; same pregnancy/handling precautions as finasteride, and women who are or may become pregnant shouldn't even handle leaking capsules.

These open a search of each database for Dutasteride (Avodart) — they are not citations, and nothing here is evidence for any particular dose. The same links are in the app.
Primary sources for Dutasteride (Avodart)
The half-life, route and dose range on this page are compiled from published pharmacokinetic literature, manufacturer and product monographs where one exists, and the ranges commonly reported in clinical and research use. They are kept as a range rather than a single figure because that is what the sources actually support — a half-life varies with route, formulation and the person.
These are not citations, and this page is not a review of the evidence. Where a number matters to you, follow the database links above and read the source. We say so plainly rather than dressing a compiled reference up as one.
Nothing on this page has been reviewed by a named clinician. It is a reference for people already tracking a protocol, not a recommendation to start one.
General reference compiled for use inside the app, not medical advice and not a recommendation to take anything. Dose ranges are what is commonly discussed, not a prescription. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.
