Study claims success with 1mg finasteride every other month

I'm not debating the validity of any of this as by choosing to take oral finasteride on a daily basis for decades, its not something i'm subscribing to.
But for completeness to the topic in the OP, i'll add this.
''The mean plasma elimination half-life of finasteride is 6 hours (range, 3 to 16 hours); however, the turnover rate for the type II 5-alpha-reductase enzyme complex is slow, with a turnover half-life of approximately 30 days''
I'm also guessing this would tally in with the reasoning to choose a 60 day interval in the OP study, if indeed that is the interval they used.
''A single dose of finasteride suppresses serum DHT levels for up to 4 days''
''Upon discontinuation of finasteride, DHT levels return to normal within 14 days.''
''After 24 weeks of treatment Mean percent DHT levels returned to within 20% of baseline with finasteride at week 4''
Most long term users have got to the point where they take alot of these studies with a pinch of salt.
The interest lies in actual real world results like @md2002, which I have already mentioned and whether there are other long term users on here who have been able to maintain on an even less frequent dose than his 1mg a week.
( @badnewsbearer for clarity this is an oral 5-ari thread discussing its use with extended periods between doses, unless you are experimenting with applying topical finasteride once weekly, bi-monthly or at even longer frequency's you are probably discussing its use in the wrong thread)

I take it the Dr.s claiming finasteride has a 30 day half life in the follicle, are just referencing something like the following and putting it into layman's terms.
''The mean plasma elimination half-life of finasteride is 6 hours (range, 3 to 16 hours); however, the turnover rate for the type II 5-alpha-reductase enzyme complex is slow, with a turnover half-life of approximately 30 days''

Again if you read a bunch of the studies over the last 25 years, they often quote varying figures from one another.
''A single dose of finasteride suppresses serum DHT levels for up to 4 days''
''Upon discontinuation of finasteride, DHT levels return to normal within 14 days.''
''After 24 weeks of treatment Mean percent DHT levels returned to within 20% of baseline with finasteride at week 4''
