After about 19 year of 1 MG a day, I dropped to 1 MG Monday, Wednesday and Friday about 6 months ago and have not experienced any changes in my hair. Side effects stopped after about a week after I started 19 years ago. Wish I would have heard of a possible MWF routine years ago. Over 69 years old now and hair is great.

I used to take 1mg a day for 2 years. It stabilizes and helped my hair loss but had some side effects (low libido/watery semen), then I found their videos and upon watching, I tried taking it 3 times per week. Same results and lower my side effects. In 2021, I started to take 1 mg once a week, just to minimize all the side effects, and it works just fine. Same results, less side effects. I now take 1mg once a week.

Think this is one of the better youtube channels regarding finasteride. So many youtibers talking about it giving the wrong information. People with no real knowledge of the product.

Thanks for the information has helped me so much. Also think the way you are prescribing the tablet is so much better and looking at the actual person needs instead of just saying her you go.

Definately a good channel.

I’d like to see more information on taking finasteride when your over 40 years of age and the effects on PSA tests.

EOD seems best for me. Zero side's, and my hair has stabilized. (7 month's on so far)

[rodbender]

1.25mg daily for 6 years, no sides, appears to have slowed hairloss. This is the dose for Millions of men around the world.

You need to do a video on body hair transplants and how effective they are, especially with someone with retrograde alopecia and with a significant amount of body hair

[slimpicknz]

Could you do a video addressing hair transplants and skin/scalp conditions such as psoriasis/excema/dermatitis etc. Would love hear your expert opinion on the matter. Excellent channel and content btw 👍🏻

[TheRealGreeble]

This is exactly the info I was looking for! Great channel :)

I'm using 0, 5mg/day for ~2 months now, No Side effects but my Hair already got thicker and i See "Baby hairs" growing longer than they used to in my temples and hairline :)

I do around 0.8 to 1.2mg per day. I buy the medicine Proscar, which is made of finasteride. The reason it is called Proscar is because it is made for prostate problems and has therefore a higher dosage - one pill is 5mg. But what I do is I cut one pill in 4 pieces. As a result a bit of the medicine is lost in small crumbles, but I also get 4 pieces of finasteride which are individually around 1mg.
Why do I do this? Because it's way cheaper. It costs me 3 euros per month. If only I had started 5 years ago... now I could've avoided my hair transplant and all that money and emotional trauma.

[robbdog]

How can you recommend off label dosing (3x per week) when the original propecia study was done at 1mg daily? How are you able to say that the level of DHT has been adequately reduced at the follicle? You can't measure that right? So how do you measure the hair stabilization in your patient?

[Jobs-hqpr]

Thank you out of all the doctors on YouTube you explained it the best

[felixbannister]

Love this channel. Thank you so much for your guidance.

[keendeesjarlais]

started off like a banshee at 1 mg per day-- way too much[ im 62] groggy, lethargic, water retention, messing with hormones.
now im 0.5 every 2nd day-- 2 mg's- ish per week... way easier on the system
he's right you don't NEED 1mg a day, it stays in the tissue for 30 days.

[graeme]

I think this was my biggest mistake I made when back in 1999 I went on 1.25mg a day and definitely caused many side effects but I was scared to stop because I didn't want to loose hair. I think the problem is that everyone starts on 1mg and probably in most cases is not necessarily by the research we are finding out these days. Everyone thinks more is better and it's not always the case. Little and often is better than to much in a short time. If you over fertiliser your lawn at home you will burn it, but little and often will always give better results in Grass.

[FORDultra]

Very good information, Dr! Thanks for sharing.

[JulesLife]

I’ve been having good results with 0.25mg/day. I also use minox once a day and microneedle every 7-10 days but it’s good so far. Posting monthly updates.

[ritankardas]

I think eating bunch of finesterides everyday like gems will be the safest ever
