Advise on Finasteride

[katam]

Hi Everyone,

I am planning to book my transplant in November with Dr. Laorwang.  I was asked to get on Finasteride 1mg/daily and started taking it 2 weeks ago. I can see i am reacting well for the medication hair quality has improved, but now started experiencing sides from it ( low libido , lack of M. Wood) . will it fade away after a certain period ?

Should I continue with medication or lower the dosage or stop taking it.

Please advise.

I would be taking Finasteride under the watch of a good dermatologist. I’m not a dermatologist but I would start at 0.5mg a day. If sides continue I would continue but only take the drugs every second day. If side’s continues then drop the dose to 0.25mg. Give each titration a month between changes if sides persist.
