Hi everyone, 

What is currently considered the least frequency that you can take finasteride and still notice a clinically significant change in DHT levels? 

3x weekly? Every 2nd day? 2x weekly?

0.25mg every second day. 

So you’re saying 1.75mg per week is enough? Only asking as I had sides on 1mg every day I’m jumping back on oral this week 0.4/2mg combined pill. Just wondering if I should take it every day

If you can see an excellent dermatologist that would be my advice in guiding you on this. Personally you could start with 0.25mg once a week. Then say after a few weeks add another day of 0.25mg and stay on this for a few more weeks. Then I would add a third dose a few weeks later so you are taking 0.25mg three times a week. Also if you get sides they may be transitory. Ultimately it’s up to you when it comes to medication. All the best.

I've know some to take 1mg on a Monday and Thursday cycle only and still maintained their hair! That's 2mg per week only. Most men with an enlarged prostate take 5mg everyday!
