Regular Member Alex94gasp Posted July 25, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted July 25, 2022 Hi guys, Hope you are doing fine, Well, I lost density on my frontal area in the last 4/5 months. And I tried a new hair cute (frist in life) I already had bookmarked for Dr. Bruno Pinto In Portugal. And to be honest, I will give it a try for finasteride. (Never tried) When should I eat the medicine? Every day, when? Morning? Late? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahal Hair Transplant Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Alex, it doesn’t matter what time of day to take the finasteride although it is probably best if you’re consistent. In other words, if you take finasteride around breakfast time, I would suggest that you take it around breakfast time each and every day. Also, it’s advised to take finasteride for 6 to 12 months in order to evaluate its efficacy. I hope this helps.

No. Fin and Min are considered to be the best meds for retention in the crown. Unfortunately, most patients stop after a year when they see no visual change. The meds help you retain. That is, if you look the same a year later, the meds did what they were intended to do. Only a small percentage get to enhance hair. Reversal of the thinning can be achieved with PRP/Laser. Research these. 32 minutes ago, Alex94gasp said: Can reverse some hair losse? Or fortified actually hair ? Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration.

Regular Member Alex94gasp Posted August 21, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2022 Hi Guys, So, i started Finasteride a few days ago, 16 August. I'm using 1 pill for day, after dinner. But I've been having some side effects. I noticed that my sexual performance decreased as also being more difficult to have a bone. What is your advise? Still continuing the medicine? And evaluate after 1/2 months? Or reduce it? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They forum advice me to give it a try, and that's what I'm doing. I was in minoxidil before, but I stopped. (Because I heard that I need to stoped for a HT) After that I lose some hair, and started finasteride a few days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member WhiteyUK Posted August 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2022 I did the same … jumped in straight on 1mg/day and had a few sides. I then stopped for a few weeks, bought a pill cutter and started in 0.5mg every other day for a month and then upped to 0.5/day… and 1 year on I’m happy that my body is accepting that dose.. The only minor side I’ve noticed is a slight reduction in sperm volume which I can live with…. definitely worth trying different dosages as everyone is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
