Hey guys, stumbled across something that somewhat might be valuable information however I would probably need someone who is very educated on the topic of hair loss to verify it's legitimacy.
Is the information in this article true?http://www.hairloss-research.org/UpdateProscar2Jan-08.html
Itstates "The percent change of Scalp skin DHT for placebo and .01 mgfinasteride were identical and essentially zero within a reasonable statisticalestimate. The change dropped by 60 % for a .05 mg dose and stayed that way forall dosages up to 5 mg. Thus a 20 times smaller dose than PROPECIA had the sameeffect on the DHT. Because the DHT reduction effects of .2mg are virtuallyidentical to 5mg, you could conceivably use .2mg EVERY THIRD DAY!"
Whatdo you guys think?
I amgoing to be starting on finasteride this upcoming week. Have any of you started with alower dosing then prescribed, then gradually increased dosage up to 1 MG perday? Currently, I already have picked up nizoral and have been using that every3 days. I don't think i'll start on minoxidil yet because my hair is still somewhatthick and I have maintained my hairline.
