Been 5 Years, Quick Question On Finasteride..

[ryder]

So I've been on finasteride for 5 years now, 1.25mg per day.

My hair loss seems to have slowed down for the most part and i am happy with the results.

My question is, now that we are almost in 2018 and new research is being done daily, is there now a new "recommended" or "standard" dosage everyone agrees on?

I've read you only need to take it every other day, etc.

Is there a consensus yet??

Thanks!

Have you experienced any sides or are you just wondering? I believe the recommended dosage is still 1 mg/day in the US. If i'm not mistaken, in Japan the norm is 0.2mg/day

i'm just curious what the general consensus is based on current research/knowledge..

ie, is daily dosage a waste due to how long is stays in your system? is 1.25mg no better than 1mg, 0.5mg, etc?

If you're looking for research ignore the forums. Speculating doses on finsteride is broscience. I haven't seen any studies on anything but 1mg... There was a dose ranging study done before it was approved for hairloss and they settled on 1mg for a reason.

I've been on it for 5 years too, works great for me

did the studies say 1mg every day, or every other day?
