I did ask this before a while ago but currently I cut my proscar into 2 and take half every other day as I found it too difficult to cut it without it disintegrating everywhere.

So I'm taking 2.5mg every other day which hasnt given me any side effects.

However I've been reading on a few sites that taking it every other day means its out of your system within 24 hours and therefore the next day your dht levels dont become affected by the Proscar. Is this true or does it not matter at all?

I've only been taking it for 1.5 months anyway so want to get it right going forward.

Cutting the tablets into four parts is a non-issue. It doesn't have to be four equal parts. The parts can be unequal.

I suggest you brush up on your pill-cutting skills and keep with the 1.25mg daily recommendation.

It's a much better regimen that way, with less of a chance of you missing a dosage.

Well often it doesnt cut that well.

I am still taking the same does 2.5mg every other day is 1.25mg every other day.

More the question was is it better to take 1.25mg every day or 2.5mg every other day. I wont be missing a dosage as I have a calendar reminder set up to remind me and note it down so that I have a record of what i have taken.

No. Just like taking higher doses of finasteride at closer time intervals does not increase the effect.
