I would imagine you would get it for free as the 5mg version is used to treat benign prostate hyperplasia, and is covered on the NHS. The 1mg version is obviously not. But this all depends on whether or not your GP is willing to prescribe the 5mg version. Finasteride has a flat dose response...

Go to your GP and tell them you would like a prescription for finasteride to treat your hair loss. Mention to them that if they prescribe the 5mg generic version it will save you a lot of money and that you will cut the pills into quarters, taking a dosage of 1.25mg a day,. When I did this I...

Regarding the gym, DHT is not anabolic therefore does not have an effect on muscle growth and is not redircted anywhere, the body doesn't do that. Testosterone is converted to DHT by 5-ar in the scalp and prostate and well other areas, that's how it has it's local effect.

Care to show evidence that suggest overdosing with Propecia is dangerous? If I remember correctly Merck tested doses of 80mg with no evidence of ant adverse effects.

Moderate acne and you want to take accutane? I thought accutane was for severe cystic acne.

Book an appointment with your local GP. Tell them you would like to use Finasteride to teat your Androgenic Alopecia. They will write a prescription for 1mg Propecia, before they do that tell them that it would be substantially cheaper if you could be prescribed 5mg Finasteride, explain that you...

One pill and only 1/4 of the normal prescribed dose? Come on, this is clearly all in your head. Stick with it for at least a couple of weeks, stay off the forums and see how you go.

Of course your libido will improve if you take trt but naturally testeosterone levels drop and oestrogen levels increase. Also we're not talking about sudden side effects this chap has been taking finasteride for 12 years, I'm sure if he had sudden side effects there would be no way he would of taken...

You will never be restored to your early 20s libido because you're not 20 anymore. I'm sure a lot of people who have used finasteride long term blame the drug for natural ageing.

Any natural hairloss product will do absolutely jack for your hair. But if you like pissing money down the toilet then carry on. Sorry to sound a little off but I would hate to think anyone would go and buy that crap based on your recommendation.

There are generic forms of Proscar. I currently purchase generic proscar from my local pharmacy for £2 ($3) for 30 tablets. That is 4 months of Finasteride. Generic proscar will always be substantially cheaper, but for people who are not confident cutting pills or prefer the simplicity of 1mg...

5AR does not produce allopregnanolone. Allopregnanolone is produced from Dihydroprogesterone via 3?-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase. Also according to "wiki" Progesterone -> Dihydroprogesterone is done via 5AR Type 1. Not sure how true this is, can't find any more information on it. Anyway I...

I stated that Finasteride also inhibits type 1, but has a relatively weak effect when compared to Dutasteride. This could be the reason, but it seems unlikely. There needs to be more research on this.

It all depends where the 5AR is located in the body, I believe Type 2 is found in the hair follicle, liver, prostate and genital skin etc. 5AR 1 is found in the brain, non genital skin, prostate and the liver. They're still unsure what exactly Type 1 5AR is for, apart from in the brain where it...
