This channel is a gift to the fight against hair loss.

[David-nozi]

This is the most sensible, balanced discussion of Finasteride that I've ever seen. If I'd seen this 10 years ago maybe I'd have gotten over my fear of the drug and started taking it when I had more hair to save!

[JamesR]

What an underrated channel. Surprised they don’t have tens of thousands of subscribers.

Been using 3mg a week (taking 1 mg Monday Wednesday and Friday) for the last 6 months with no noticeable side effects and thrilled with the results. I have been contemplating taking finasteride for the last 10 years but would never have started this drug if it wasn't for your channel and professional advice with scientific evidence backing up what you were saying. Many many thanks. I'm sure there are millions of guys like me out there who haven't found you yet but would follow suit upon hearing this video. Keep up the outstanding work. Anyone else out there taking the same dose? Write you results

This channel is invaluable. Honestly I used to panic over potential sides after taking just 0.5mg everyday but 3mg a week is actually working really well for me. We need professionals like these guys in our lives. I had a consultation once and was given terrible advice. I was advised against finesteride and was recommended to start laser therapy and then a transplant in future, with no realistic explanation as to how to maintain existing hair. I’ve really learn a lot from these videos :) so thanks for your hard work!

This is the best channel on Youtube IMO for advice on finasteride usage - two professionals covering all kinds of information about finasteride.
Here at 10:10 they're even talking about the cost-saving finasteride dosing practise of splitting a 5mg proscar pill into quarters - Clearly these guys aren't affiliated with Merck if they're showing us how to dose finasteride on a budget (As well as the MWF weekly dosing routine they have previously recommended, which goes against the excessive daily Merck dosing recommendation) 🙂

So much knowledge freely shared. Thank you! (I just wish I had started this medication half a decade earlier!)

[sweetcalamares]

The REAL experts. This channel is a treasure.

[JuanCarlosLTO]

This is my favorite hair loss channel. There’s a few good ones but this is the best I’ve seen.

[SurenFarrashbashi]

Literally the best video out there about finasteride dosage. BRAVO.

[mrmrssongstories]

I can't give you guys credit enough and praise you enough for your shared knowledge. As a 32 year old male (starting to bald), who is about to start to taking the medicine, this information is worth so much. Thank you guys, alot

[wyattberg]

Ive been using 3x a week since 19 Never had a problem, glad I saw your channel before going to my doc

[niksrushil]

Super duper content! Wow

Statistics + Medicine + Extremely sound Framework —> Feels like 2 McKinsey consultants got into dermatology! :)

[unslimshady]

I started taking finasteride yesterday and I am skeptical and worried about dosage, frequency, and side effects. Not anymore!
You guys are the best. You made it easy for me to just cut the pill into quarters and take it 3x per week.
I really appreciate your effort in making these super helpful videos.
Wish you the best! and KEEP IT UP... WE NEED YOU!

[mikeloveskimbo]

I really like these guys. Both very knowledgeable, likeable and are not trying to sell us anything (the opposite really )
I've been on 1mg Fin for 2 years, started aged 48 and can honestly say my 2" crown bald patch is now only slightly noticeable and the over all density it thicker.
No side effects for me but I reduced to 1mg every other day a few months ago and all seem good! Great channel!

[TheZamster]

This is hands down the best information on hair loss I have ever seen. Thank you so much. There is so much trash out there and so hard to gauge what is correct and what is misinformation. Love this.

[larrydeng]

You guys are great. Genuine and always looking to help others with specific information and logical opinions. I cant wait to recommend this channel to my future son when he is losing his hair. :)

[rishabhrohit]

I wish I had access to these kinds of doctors.

[pcerzyc]

The video is basically the answer to the question I had yesterday, brilliant.

[petersage]

At 3:10 Dr Vikram J. was almost ready to write the Testosterone to DHT reaction. 😂 Love you both btw!

[vtigbkj]

Just a litle comment on the logic of the response curve ("DHT inhibition curve"): In order to make sense, the dose [mg] has to be on the "x- axis". Only then the graph indicates, that an increase of the dose over 1 mg/ day results in no further effect of DHT inhibition. Nonetheless, amazing, unbiased explanations. You bring a lot of value to the lifes of many.
