Seeking Advice Regarding Finasteride/dutasteride

Hello there,

I've been using Finasteride for about 4 months now with no noticeable side-effects. My results on big 3 are spectacular and I don't wanna cut any of them off.

Now, problem is that Finasteride 1 mg is nowhere to be found in Egypt's pharmacies (not even famous ones here). Since our economy became sh*t, some pharma companies stopped producing specific meds.

Now I need advice on which should I pick:-
1- 5 mg Finasteride and split the pill into 4 and take 1.25 mg? (Already asked for a split-able pill in 2 pharmacies and they said it can only be split into 2 and that I should dissolve each half and drink half the water cup per day. They didn't confirm if that's legit tho. Should I keep searching for split-able pill?
2- 0.5 Dutasteride, split it into 2 and take 0.25 daily. (quite scared to jump into dutasteride tho).
3- Visit a dermatologist. (Visits are currently expensive as f*** and might not prescribe a legit med tho).

I only have 4 pills left, so I need to decide what to do ASAP..

Thanks in advance ^^

Thank you bro, I really appreciate your comment. I am not sure if I started regrowing anything due to finasteride..I've been using minoxidil for almost a year now and finasteride for 4 months. I'd say that regrowth/thickening is faster now tho than when I use Minoxidil only. No hairline regrowth tho.

Can you show me how does the pill look before and after splitting? There are many brands here that offer 5 mg Finasteride here and I am confused which one I should go for.

Oh, It's alright. I heard about a local brand here, going to try splitting it tonight.

Only loss to zero libido the first 3 days with a pelvic pain then nothing at all. I still get my morning erections regularly and my libido is pretty much as high as it was pre-finasteride lol. My sperm quantity is normal as well and as thick as it should be.
No, I don't take any other drugs. I tried taking 25 mg zinc pills once per day to make sure I don't suffer finasteride side effects, but that increased my libido unnecessarily and made my skin more oily so I stopped it 2-3 months ago. I am 22 years old and turning 23 soon.

Get the 5mg, buy a pill splitter, cut into 4, dose 1.25 for 4 days, skip the 5th day. This way you'll be loading 5 mg in 5 days, same as you would with 1mg x 5 days.

I really doubt that. if I were lucky I wouldn't have to lose hair aggressively at the age of 18 :D
Could be worse. I started losing aggressively at 19 and don't respond to finasteride or minoxidil. On duta now will see how it goes. I would consider myself extremely lucky if finasteride and minoxidil even stopped my hair loss.

Yup, that's what I've done. spent a whole day searching for splitter and a splittable pill. Luckily found a local proscar here. I thought about taking 1.25 mg daily tho..what do you think?

Well, guess you have a point tho..I should consider myself lucky for responding to Minoxidil (cannot judge any finasteride results..I'd say it's working if I didn't suffer any further hair loss in months). I really hope Duta works well for you, good luck ^^

I think it's worth a try at 1.25 mg. /Day. Shouldn't be much of a change for you. BTW I've been on 5mg/day for a year with no ill effects.

Yeah, I am currently doing the 1.25 mg/day since I've a lot of hair to recover.5 mg/day? that sounds like an overkill...how did your body react to that?
Ironically tho, I almost swallowed the 5 mg pill before splitting it few times lol

I'm 57. 5mg is the recommended dose. Specifically for BPH. Of course there have been the hair benefits. Like I said, no ill effects.

Ben Türk'üm. Finasteridden 9 ay sonra şu anda dutasterid'i 1 ay kullanıyorum. 1 gün finas gününü dutas şeklinde kullanıyorum. Yan etkilerden kurtulmak için vücudu bol su için kullanın ve olumlu olun.

I see. I am glad it's working for you with no side effects. It feels great not suffering any sides from a med that has a high possibiliy of stopping hair loss for years.

Pardon my ignorance, I had to use "Google Translator" to understand what you said :D
Well, I am afraid of jumping to Dutasteride currently, I heard it has higher risk of getting sides. I am on 1.25 mg/day Finasteride for now.
