    How should I best prepare for finasteride?

    Even then the % of people that develop side effects is fairly low . And we have reports of long term users that have been on finasteride for 20 years with low side effect profile. It doesnt block DHT directly . It just blocks partially the conversion of test to dht There is not really any...

    How should I best prepare for finasteride?

    This is false . If you take ONE 0.25 mg dose it will be out of your system in one day. Finasteride stays on your system for a very short time. So this applies for effect and sides . if you stop taking it the hormonal levels go back to level fast BUT you will also start losing hair again. I am...

    (27m) Hair started thinning / very early stages

    In some angles you can see the thinning on the vertex too. I have become a bit neurotic over it . At least im on treatment now . But yeah covid plus androgenic alopecia diagnosis from a dermatologist have sent my mental health spiraling.

    If your hair looks like mine you will most likely be fine . My dermatologist said im still norwood 1 . If i keep using finasteride regularly i will be able to slow it down a lot at least. Androgenic alopecia responds well to anti androgens usually.

    (27m) Hair started thinning / very early stages

    Im doing finasteride 3x a week . I saw that 3x a week would be enough in the hair loss show on youtube. But i might just do 1x a day like my dermatologist prescribed . Also have read that the nizoral keta shampoo has some anti androgenic properties . Will order some online. Not really worried...

    He used a dermatoscope yes. He was probably able to see the folicule minituariziation althought at this point its not very noticable in general looking at my hair- I have actually had people IRL point out my hair was thinning/ i was starting to get hair loss and i was still in denial. This...

    (27m) Hair started thinning / very early stages

    Dupa is exactly what i have and i didnt even know the name. My crown are is perfect but my sides and the front are starting to thin, seems not to be the classic male pattern baldness pattern in which the crown thins very agressively. Fina could help in theory because its still an androgenic/...
