Important Propecia Inquiry (missed doses)

[markspe34]

Good Morning Everyone,

First off I want to say thank you in advance for any help any of you may be able to provide me on this inquiry.

I have been on Propecia for 3 years, and have never missed a day. I am very worried because I realized I was out of pills this past Wednesday.

I sent out for additional Propecia pills, but they will be shipping on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

My question is, will the hair i've regained or maintained from Propecia be effected by the fact that I will be without the pill for 1 week straight?

I am very nervous about this, and am not sure what I can do besides wait.

Thank you all for any help you may be able to provide!

Don't worry about it. Your DHT levels may not even be back to normal levels after a week. It would probably take weeks or perhaps even months before you would notice a negative impact from not taking Propecia.

Yeah. I've been off propecia for 1 week without any negative loss.

I was just wondering... I need some proof, but I remember reading that if you come off finasteride, it takes roughly 12 weeks for your hormonal levels to come back to normal. But how long until you see shedding and hairloss?

It takes a week or two for blood levels of DHT to get back to normal, after the last dose of finasteride. Don't know about hair loss.
