Opinion On Finasteride 3 Times A Week?

[josefhair]

Hi,
Just wanted to gauge peoples opinions on finasteride 3 times a week?
Is this too little a dose to actually have an effect?
Would be good to hear..

With the long half-life of 5ar enzyme (7 days), 1 mg x3/week may be feasible.

I have taken it every 3rd topically at the start even at 0.025% and that worked. The half life is 72 hours so anything over 3 days is useless, but every 3rd day did work for me at the start.

Yes definitely. The doctors on The Hair Loss Show on youtube stated this. 1mg oral finasteride 3x a week is enough to give you optimal results.

I am currently taking 3x a week. It has only been a month ish, so it may take a while to see if it does anything.

Does it take 7 days for 5ar to replenish?

7 days to get to half of its current quantity. Dont know how it works out for replenishing, but the body is slow @ regenerating 5ar. You can check studies where graphs show how long does the DHT levels take to get back to their original level.
