Dutasteride and MK-677 Interaction

Avoid
Mechanism-based 64% confidence

Dutasteride and MK-677 have a potentially harmful interaction with 64% confidence. Both Dutasteride and MK-677 carry hepatotoxic risk. Combining hepatotoxic compounds significantly increases liver damage potential. If unavoidable, include liver support (TUDCA/NAC) and monitor ALT/AST frequently. These compounds primarily affect different organ systems.

Compound Profiles

Dutasteride

Dual 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor | Hair Loss & BPH

Dutasteride competitively inhibits both the Type I and Type II isoforms of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Type II is the predominant isoform in the prostate and hair follicles, while Type I is found primarily in the skin, sebaceous glands, and liver.

Half-life: ~5 weeks (extremely long; active metabolite accumulation over months) Typical dose: 0.5mg/day hair loss

MK-677

Ghrelin Receptor Agonist | Oral Growth Hormone Secretagogue

Selectively binds GHS-R1a receptors in hypothalamus and pituitary, triggering pulsatile growth hormone release while maintaining natural circadian patterns..

Half-life: ~24 hours Typical dose: Start 12.5mg daily, increase to 25mg based on tolerance growth hormone, weight loss, sleep
