How to start finasteride?

[Illusions]

Should I start with 0.5mg or just go straight onto 1mg? Thanks in advance

Also is there any difference between generic finasteride and propecia?

I started at 1.25 mg.

Finasteride is a drug that is nearly dose-independent. There's very little difference between 0.50 and 1.25 mg, only your wallet might notice a difference. Focus on building the routine.

If you really wanted to moderate the effects of finasteride, your best bet would be other drugs or creatine. Note that there's less experimental data on that approach so you'd be speculating.

You're best off talking to a doctor.

Me personally, I took a 5mg of finasteride (proscar) on day one. My hairloss stopped the very next day (no hairs in the shower). I took 1mg of finasteride after that.

I would talk to your doctor. Personally, I would go 1mg of finasteride and see how that works.

Officially 1mg daily is the recommended dosage.

So starting off at 0.5mg wouldnt help prevent sides?
