I started finasteride end of Dec 16 having 2.5mg twice a week. Got awesome results towards the end of April where I my hairline looked like it didn't recede, with a bit of covering up of course.

Since then my hair line has gotten worse with the corners of my temple getting very thin and slowly forming a widows peak,so I went to my dermatologist about 8 weeks ago who recommended that I up my intake to 2.5mg 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). No apparent improvement in the hair line as yet.

I was just wondering whether it may be better to get a more even dose with 1.25mg 6 times a week instead of my current regime. My derm said there's no difference, but I can't quite find anything online that proves it nor dismisses it.

Increasing my dose to 10mg could also be a possibility.

P.S I've also using topical minoxidil for past 6 weeks.

Would appreciate your opinions.
