Regular Member Blond Posted May 5, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 5, 2009 Same but dose varies depending on use: e.g. 5mg - enlarged prostates. 1mg - hair loss Both dosages inhibit with practically the same efficacy.

Regular Member HungryHoss Posted May 8, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 8, 2009 thanks lads! it's just that i read there that "The recommended dosage, for men only, is one 5-milligram tablet per day. " i have only been taking 1/4 tab per day so I'm grand. Propecia is cheaper so I think I will switch over. cheers again.!!! (must update my hair blog too...been so long since!!)

Finasteride keeps testosterone from becoming DHT, it remains unadulterated testosterone, nothing feminine about that, in fact many guys have a surge in libido from it.

Yes and no, upping the dose is advisable if the benefits of 1mg begin to wane. Some men take an entire 5mg every other day instead of cutting the pill. Also it is worthy of note that a 5mg pill does not distribute the drug consistently through the medication and cutting inexact fourths can lead to under medicating. Personally I'd cut the pills in half, better to have slightly more finasteride in your system than not enough. Hair loss patient and transplant veteran. Once a Norwood 3A.
