how strange mr stingray, im going to start taking avodart soon as my propecia is gone.
here's the facts boys and girls, avodart theoretically and practically is a stronger 5 alpha reductase I inhibitor than propecia. avodart is not FDA approved for male pattern baldness but it is FDA approved for fighting BPH, which is exactly what proscar is designed to do.
the half life for avodart is roughly 2 weeks, and unlike propecia which goes into your blood stream immediately, avodart takes about a week to build up.
my advice to you stingray, take avodart once a week (it's cheaper and it's still working much much stronger than propecia taken every day).
during the first week however, take your avodart but keep taking some finasteride until that week is up, so the avodart can build up in your system. this should give you the least amount of side effects while still having maximum effectiveness.
good luck, ill let you guys know what happens with me once i start on it(have about 15-20 more propecia pills left)
