Going to be without Finasteride for 4 days. Will I be OK?

[hairer]

I am in the very early stages of male pattern baldness; not even a Norwood 2, Propecia has given me a little more thickness and filled my corners, however it's only noticeable to me. Unfortunately I am on one tablet and ordered today so it will arrive on Tuesday at best, should I cut the pill in half?

Will 4 day make a difference?

Your hair should be fine missing four days of Finasteride, it isn't that long of a time span.

Stretch the pill out. Cut it in 4ths if you can. Better to have steady levels in yur blood than to stop taking it.

Plus studies show .25mg is almost as effective at inhibiting DHT as 1mg.

But you'll be fine either way.

Your levels won't begin to bounce back to baseline before a couple of weeks off finasteride. Don't qoute me on this, but I think I've read a study saying it slowly starts declining about two weeks off Finasteride, even longer on Dutasteride.

Noone can tell you for sure but certainly 4 days doesn't seem like a lot at all. Should be fine.
