Hs anybody ever tried using finasteride once a week? For example I have some finasteride 5mg tablets. A lot of people on here seem to doses as small as .25 or .5 a day. If you use one 5 mg once at the end of a seven day period it adds up to using more than .5 daily. Is this something that anyone has ever tried? Or wouldn't it work? Thanks again.
This would be like taking 1, 1mg tablet once a week. That is NOT a good idea. Your hair will NOT be helped enough.
Bad idea. You have to take it everyday, or at least every second day or something like that. DHT levels will have too much time to restore themself etc.
You would be wasting money and really messing around with your hormones.
Now a lot of people do take finasteride every other day and for the most party this is some what ok as finasteride does have a some what long life in your system.
But 5mg once a week would really through things in a loop and could cause some serious side effects.
I would personally advice to stick with daily dosage. If you worried start with something small like .25mg

I was taking 1.25mg of finasteride for a while before beefing up my regimen to what it is now. During that time of only taking 1.25mg of finasteride 3 times a week I personally didn't have any perceivable loss. I was and currently am taking other supplements as well so I can't say for sure that 3 times a week would affect someone else the same way.
But I will agree with the others that once a week is a waste of money, time and hair that you could otherwise be saving if you were to take the finasteride on a more regular basis.
Perhaps start with 0.5mg of finasteride every other day and monitor your body's response before making any further adjustments.

WRONG. finasteride disappears out of your system very fast, within hours. The reason you can take it every other day is because your body needs time to make more 5 alpha reductase, which then takes time to make more DHT.
Warning: Just because your serum levels are still low does not mean your scalp levels are too. DHT leaks from the prostate and scalp into your blood, so those levels climb first. I would not go more than every other day unless you have very mild male pattern baldness and are 35.
