On my leaflet it says:

The film-coated tablet must be swallowed whole and must not be separated or crushed

but i've heard people cutting the tablets into smaller pieces?

Have any of you used erectile dysfunction medications while taking finasteride?

I'm curious how well they work to counteract the side effects of finasteride.

Im starting on monday, kinda scared wish me luck!

Hello,

Take 1mg a week but topically no side effect and it work as well as 1mg per day with pills.

You can even start at 0,75mg a week

Use 0.025% solution 1ml 3x a week

 

Where did you buy it?

I am about to start finasteride treatment for couple of months to prepare myself for hairtransplant and wanted to gauge peoples opinions on finasteride 3 times a week. Im kinda afraid of taking higher dosage from the start.

Will 0.5mg Mon/Wed/Fri be okay or it wont be effective? I've seen on studies that 0.5mg was optimal dose as well?
Age: 24

Hair:

Checkout Dr Turan

If a person starts finasteride at 25 and is nw3. After 10 years of finasteride, will the person be still nw3, or he will be still progressing to nw4/5 but more slowly? 

As in title, is it safe to transplant grafts near existing hairs that has not fallen out? For example if someone wants to thicken up his mid scalp, but there's still a lot of hair there. Does it risk damaging it? Also is it true that DHI method would be good for this?

I wasn’t a diffuse, but, Lost a majority of my frontal third by 25.

 Got on meds, 2k grafts by Hasson and it was the best decision of my life!

I am only now looking for a second pass because at 42 I am single again otherwise it was totally sufficient up until now.

 

I think Bisanga is excellent however a tad conservative so definitely seek some other opinions

How often do u take 0.5mg finasteride?

there are signs of balding in your donor as well, I would advise not to do it, especially at 21. 24 is minimum imo

SMP can cover scar pretty well.

Yeah I've seen a destroyed donor zone from DHI, there is thread on this forum

I want to buy Dr Mwambas https://www.fueclinic.com/services/treatments/topical-dutasteride-0-1/ , however it doesn't state how many times I should use etc. I've never tried finasteride/dut before. I want to use duta because you don't have to apply it everyday, but I am scared to take such strong medication - how do I know if it's even safe for me? Should I consult this with a doctor or something?

I have seen some really bad and botch results from Yaman...We are not just talking about subpar growth, poor survival etc...We are talking about serious stuff here such as permanent donor overharvesting which reduces your limited lifetime graft supply as well as botches that require very expensive repair surgeries etc...

 

Can you show some proof?

Maybe share the "well-known" clinic to prevent others going through the same thing?

You are too young OP, I am 21 so I know your pain. I have been on Fin/Dut for 4 years collectively, and I think you need to strongly consider hopping on Finasteride ASAP if you want to maintain your hair. I've done a lot of research on transplants myself and I'm still not sure whether I'd get one even at 25, surgery should always be last resort. There is a lot to consider and research. Surgery is always a gamble. That's why you need to maximise your chances of success in every way possible, meds, elite doc etc.

Take a look at this video, you do not want to end up like this:

 

 

This is bad example, this guy was balding since 14 because of medical condition. And yeah OP you're too young for HT, it doesn't even look like you need one.

Drink it with water?

I'm pretty sure a few people on this forum get 5mg Oral Minoxidil and then cut it into halves or quaters whatever they need. Pretty sure you would be able to do the same with Finasteride

Most of people cut it into 4 pieces and get 1.25mg out of it and swallow the piece. I would like to still crush the 0.5mg into 3 pieces

This may sound bizzare, but I have trouble swallowing pills. I want to take 0.5mg finasteride, but can I crush it multiple times into smaller pieces so I am capable of swallowing it? Will it still work the same if I don't swallow it as a whole pill?

No because if you do your research you know the chances of getting a good result is significantly higher if you go to a more expensive doctor or clinic . People are trying to advise what’s best ,and with regards to hair transplants, sadly it’s something if you want. a high degree of certainty for it to work out , paying more for the better surgeons results  in this . Your donor is finite , you can’t be risking that. You get what you pay for definitely applies to a hair transplant 

I dont believe this, I've seen many terrible HT's in the US which costed like $15k

Enjoy your hair! Did any people you've met for the first time ever realised you had a transplant?

Im not advertising the clinic but I think Serkan is one of the best hair mills because I've seen great results on some people. From what I've seen they use microscopes to seperate grafts, they plant only singles in hairline, if they need more singles they slice multigrafts into singles.

Can u show before pic?

This is placebo most likely

Top Five HT Doctor

Obviously I am biased towards the work I see more frequently and the content the clinics create. I didnt see many independent reviews from Zarev or Couto. Moreover, for example, bhr made a recent video about their donor Evaluation process. Other clinics may do that as well, I am just not so familiar with that.

 

1) Dr Bisanga. What convinces me is his data-driven evaluation of donor. Experience is nice, but I think it is really beneficial to supplement experience with data.

2) Hattingen. Not only are they amazing in the surgery, but Dr Muresanu is very ethical and does not follow industry trends. He is excellent with Fut and Fue so that is a bonus.

3) Dr Pinto. Everything I have seen from him so far looked like amazing work.

4) Dr Ferreira. Same as Dr Pinto.

5) Eugenix. What I like is that they are good at supplementing with body hair to save donor and give coverage to high Norwoods.

Bottom Three HT Doctors

To be honest I don't have much interest in the bottom, as their work will never play a role in my life. But 3 which 

1) Hair of Istanbul 

2) Asli Tarsan

3) Elithair?

Asli Tarcan, lol - are you kidding?
