Regular Member Mrsmith434 Posted October 26, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Hi all These doctors makes a very convincing argument as to why 1 mg 3 times a week gives the same results with less side effect risk. I am currently on this dosage. What are your thoughts on this? I know the official dosage is 1mg every day but if 3 times a week is likely to give the same result I'd prefer that.

If this dose of 1mg three times a week is working for you then stay on it! All the best!

I've had issues with fin in the past so I've just had 0.1mg fin and 1mg oral min compounded by a pharmacy. Hopefully this works 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member general-etwan Posted October 27, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2022 Yes. Finasteride stays in the skin at the follicle level for many weeks so 3 days a week is all that is necessary to maintain a level supply over time without unnecessary buildup.

Regular Member Alex94gasp Posted October 27, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 27, 2022 I was at 1mg/day. But after a month I reduced, because of the side effects. Now I'm at 3mg/week.(1mg/pill in Monday, Wednesday and friday) But i still have side effects (but less). What do you think I should do? Trying 0,5mg, every day? Ir may be 2mg/week?
