I've Got A Unique Question About finasteride

[Just shave it]

So like the title says I think I have a genuinely unique question here. I have to get jaw surgery sometime in the future, and I won't be able to open my mouth or eat anything solid for a while. I really don't want to quit finasteride, but if I'm unable to swallow a pill I guess I have no choice. Is there a way to crush it and put it in a smoothie or some sh*t? does it have to be a timed release? If so could I take super micro doses every couple of hours or something? (I won't be working so I'll have the free time for this). I'm talking about Propecia specifically if that matters. By the way I'm sorry if this question isn't unique, I've been unable to find the answer.

Thanks, -Just shave it

If you can eat a smoothie then you can swallow a little pill. Or you can just crush it up in your smoothie like you said. A month off finasteride probably wouldn't make an enormous difference though.

Well maybe I should correct to juice, a smoothie is a bit much. I suppose I'm just super paranoid about sides. It seems everyone with severe/permanent sides gets them after quitting.

You can take a microdose by dissolving the pill in high grade alcohol and using a dropper. I will be doing this as I want to start taking finasteride at a dose of 0.05 mg per day.

I'm just curious, what is the point of taking a dose so small? Did you get sides? Or do you just feel more comfortable taking a super small dose?

I have not started yet. The reason I will start with a dose of 0.05 is because the studies I have read show that to be nearly as effective as the standard dose and anecdotally ,at least, people seem to report fewer side effects.

Thank you, I'll have to research this and see if it's an option for me.
