Senior Member mr_peanutbutter Posted October 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2022 at least on the internet that doesnt seem the case i always read stuff like “got sides at 1mg/day, switched to 0.00124 mg/every other day but still got sides eventually“ so i wonder. it appears you either get sides or you dont, regardless of dosage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few different studies have shown that Fin has a "Flat dose response" meaning a "super low dose" of 0.05mg has nearly the same reduction in serum DHT as 5mg. It's basically the reason I think the "try lowering your dose" or "try topical" recommendation is probably not good advice if you get sides from oral Fin. It's an interesting observation about medicine and pharmaceuticals in general. 0.05mg sounds like a very low dose of anything, but when you're talking about physiological processes that aren't even visible under microscope 0.05mg could have a large inhibitory effect. That said the lower doses should at least allow your body to clear it through your system sooner than the higher doses. https://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(99)80051-6/fulltext Edited October 18, 2022 by GoliGoliGoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
