I think the problem here is that most people do not understand what 'half life' is, nor does the lay-person have any idea about drug pharmacodynamics or pharmacokinetics.

I agree that the drug will stay in your body for several days, however it will most likely be at a sub-clinical dose. I do not understand why anyone would not take propecia everyday , as indicated. Unless they have experienced side-effects.

Well I went to Cooley about 9 months ago. I was a month away from shaving or transplant. He and his assistant insisted I take propecia 3 times a week in 1mg tablets.
I did and I will bet my savings I have more hair than any of you calling it bs and I haven't even thought about a transplant since seeing them. They're time and 3 months of propecia was free by the way.
You guys spend your time playing doctor and I'll spend my time on the beach picking up college girls.
I do plan on taking 1 per day at some point just to see if I can grow more.
Thanks Dr. Cooley

Using it 3 times per week is perfectly fine. Half life has no bearing on its effectiveness. The regeneration of the AR2 enzyme takes much longer than the interval of finasteride dosing.

Well doctors, if you'd like to see the results of propecia only as prescribed by Dr. Cooley to be taken only 3 times a week. Here you go
