Need Advise On Finasteride Dosage (1mg Vs 1.25mg)

[kana-sucre]

Hey,

Let me introduce you Spain, this amazing country where 28 pills of 1m finasteride cost 27€ and 28 pills of 5m finasteride cost only 8€...

For economic reason I'll up my daily dose of fina from 1mg to 1.25mg. But I have a few questions, how do you guys cut the pills, I'm currently doing it with a knife, but that's not easy, I don't get regular parts. Any advice on that?

Other question, I've never got any SE with 1mg since I put it in my regimen 2 years ago. What's the probability to get sides with 1.25 mg a day?

Btw, over the last 2 years, I have had quite good results, I may post some photos when I'll have more free time.

Thanks in advance,

Kana

No difference, finasteride has a nearly flat response curve between 0.2 and 5.0 mg.

hey david you seem to be a really clever man . How can you explain that 5 mg has better haircount than 1 mg ?

You should be able to snap your tablets, but can be tricky if you have shirt nails. Some brands are tougher than others.

As regards to 1mg vs 1.25mg, there won't be a differance in results.

No, I'm not able to snap my tablets, they are too small... I can only do it with a knife, but the parts are really unequal...
Well, thanks everybody, next month I'll switch to 1.25 mg a day.

Statistical noise.

Other studied ls don't show this.

And,

They have three different measures, only one of which shows an effect.

Im using a pillcutter, can buy it at most local pharmacies.

Go on ebay and buy a clear pill cutter like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pill-Caplet...:g:XZgAAOSwpLNX7yin&item=112154032656&vxp=mtr

They are like 2 bucks from china or 5 bucks from USA (prefer USA since they get there faster).
I cut up one weeks worth at a time and the little pieces just sit in that post cut bay/tray area. I only cut up 5mg pills once a week or two. Super easy to cut into 4ths since you can see through the pill cutter. I get really good at it lately, almost entertaining.

its not that sensitive, i was a good responder on Fina and my method was simply to chew off a piece from a 5mg Proscar tablet every day, stretching each to up to a week. At least i had better results than some of the nazi regimes some forum users here are into, i bet a lot i wouldnt have better results if i took the exact same amount on the exact same time everyday with exactly one 8oz glass of water while clicking the heals together and doing an Arnold Rimmer salut.

Random noise due to chance.

Agree once your DHT bottoms thanks to finasteride it takes weeks for to raise without more finpecia so whether it's off by .5mg or so doesn't matter. Just as long as you take it constantly. I've even heard people skipping days to save $$ but that was 10 years ago when this sh*t was too expensive. Now it's cheap cheap.
