The BEST way to take FINASTERIDE

[GodisnotBald]

Hello guys,


I've got a question for all the senior members and guys taking finasteride for months:

1) Do you think taking 0.5 mg a day during 2 months before 1 mg can reduce initial shedding / sides ?!

2) WHEN and in which QUANTITY do you swallow the damn pill ?

I've read that the best practice consists in : 1 mg 1/day between 8 PM and 10 PM AFTER supper

So , what do you think?

A) In the morning or evening?
B) Before of after eating?
C) 1mg ? And what about taking 0.5 mg during 2 months so as to reduce initial shedding / sides?


THANKS !

1) studies had show that taking 0.5 or 1 mg doesn't matter much. To be on the save side they choose 1 mg.

2) I always just take it in the morning, because I split a 5mg pill I take 1.25 mg a day.

A) doesn't matter
B) Doesn't matter
C) doesn't matter, if it works you will see a shed to replace old hair with new. If you have sides you can try to reduce your intake with 0.5 mg.

My advise as someone who takes finasteride for 1 year and the advise of my brother who takes finasteride for 4 years is just to start with taking 1 mg or 1.25 mg a day and see how it goes.

If, when taking it after 1 year, you didn't notice more hairloss and your Norwood is not a nw5 you can go back to a nw1 if you take a good hair transplant docter.

More questions?

C. Doesn't matter

Thanks for these answers

So, if I take it at 10 PM in the evening, it won't decrease the effects?
