What do think of taking 5mg of finasteride every 5 days?

I know the half life is only 12 hours or so, but ive read that that effects of 5mg on dht would present for several days.

The half life is only 6 hours. The effective half life is about 4-5 days.

With that said, taking anything upwards and including 1 mg every 3 days or so, should give you almost maximal benefit, on paper.

So 5mg every 5 days would be good? Or would it have the same effect as for example 1mg every 5 days and i should split the dosage?

Not bad, but not optimal either.

Several doctors prescribe that protocol for BPH and hair loss. But I definitely think that spacing them into 1 mgs ED instead would be better.

In general, you shouldn't go more than 3 days without some finasteride, since it's effective half life isn't that long either.
