Finasteride once every 2 days?

[base10]

I will be starting my regimen within this week.


I do not have significant loss, currently at a early NW2. However my genes have strong male pattern baldness.

I was wondering if taking finasteride once every 2 days is possible for maintaing and regrowth? I don't want to take this pill to begin with, so I was hoping to start with a low dose.

Could I get by with this?

Yes.

but it's more efficient and clever to use 0.25mg finasteride every day than 1mg every third day or 0.5mg every other day, right ?

Why is that?

 

[Ventures]

Because of half-life time of finasteride which is 6-8 hours...

It's effective half life is around 3-4 days.
