Finasteride and oral minox dosage

[SoSoz]

My doctor prescribed me finasteride, he says best way to take is 1mg every day and he says he takes it for 10 years that way as well. I was thinking of doing 0.5mg 3 times a week since the clinical tests show that 0.5mg is effective as well almost as 1mg. There are doctors on yt that claim 1mg a day is too much and 3 times is enough. So what in earth is correct dosage?

I've received oral minoxidil 2mg prescription as well, they make it at my local pharmacy. Is this dosage normal for starting oral minox? I've heard people doing 1mg

I was prescribed 2.5 mg a day of oral minoxidil, as for Finasteride I use generic form and take one 5mg pill a week on Sunday evenings, and it worked well for me, the reason I do it like this is because I don’t have to split the pills into quarters.
