Bill - Seemiller Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 rodfl, What is the current dosage you are taking of Avodart? I'm glad it's working great for you, but if you are experiencing side effects, you will have to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of cutting down the dosage verses keeping it the same. I believe physicians who prescribe it for hair loss typically prescribe .5mg daily. I know with Propecia, many hair restoration physicians recommend to their patients to cut the dosage in half or take it every other day to reduce the likelihood of side effects. Additionally, finasteride isn't as strong a drug....is there any reason you didn't try this first? Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
