The answer is no. The Type I 5AR's half-life is 14 days an Type II 5AR's half-life is 30 days.
well if that is the case, why can't we take 1mg twice a month, or at most a couple times per week???
i know that most people who have taken finasteride daily for more than a couple of years who have cut back to every other day saw hair loss
so..........how does this explain a 14 day half-life?
It's not a question of "IF THAT'S THE CASE". Read the pharmacology data, this is what it states.
You're starting to get into a highly exaggerated apples to oranges comparison by going from EOD to a couple times per month. EOD has worked fine for many people in these forums as well, and there's a number of derms and doctors who will prescribe this at EOD. I'm guessing there's probably a point where spreading out the dosages any further considerably reduces its effect. That is probably after the 48 hour period. If you want to be a guinea pig by our guest and take it twice a week or twice per month.
finasteride also has a 6-hour half life so there will still be 1/(2^8) left in your system at this point if you take it EOD. Plus the fact that it takes the 5AR that long to re-generate.
Do some research here and give us some more information on this.
