Finasteride Linked To Erectile Dysfunction That Lasts For Years

[Stupidon]

Is English your second language? Your post is very hard to read.

****************

The flat response curve refers only to DHT levels in the skin and in the blood.

The sides may be due to the dozens of other reactions affected by finasteride, completely independent of DHT levels in the serum and in the skin. They don't necessarily have the same response curve.

However once you make it to 1 mg, it's plausible you've inhibited everything.

No and that's not the point.

The flat response curve is almost flat for the different dosages. When you think there is a very tight boarder for some people with regards to side effects, you do understand that doing a melting pot of all these dosages does not make any sense. 5mg is different than 0.25mg.

But the question is where the sweet spot is for each individual. Some large scale studies specifically looking at dosages on hair loss from 0.25mg to 5mg would be nice, however for most people the fact that 0.25 does almost as much as 5mg in terms of scalp DHT reduction possibly suggests that for most 0.25mg is enough. Emphasis on possibly. Correct me if you have a good study on finasteride doseages and hairloss, but what you're saying isn't tested and is just conjecture. As is what I said.

They also report statistical dispersions on these measurements.

Fact is, if we assume that serum and scalp DHT are the only things that matter for hair (which may not be valid), then 0.06 mg/day is enough for the average person, and thus maybe 0.12-0.15 for some people if they're very large, or they produce more 5ar.

The lowest dosage I've seen tested for hair counts is 0.20 mg/day. The response was statistically indistinguishable from the higher dosage tested, which I think was 1.00 mg/day.

There's a Japanese study on 0.20 mg/day, consumed orally.

I think polichem is running studies on low dosages of topical finasteride as well, but I don't know if they kept going and if they're going to release results.

Interesting. Bodes well for myself at least, considering I'm planning on sticking with my 0.25mg dose till the end of my days.

That's correct, and that's why you have to take everything with a grain of salt.
No the response was almost the same from the higher dosage tested (but agreed, cosmetically it might be irrelevant). I need to find this study again.

It's worth noting that whatever the dosage you take, you will end up at the same DHT level, it will just take more or less time. That's the reason why I believe low dose EOD is better.

Polichem wanted less serum DHT reduction with higher scalp DHT reduction. You can see the results, does not work.

If it works, it's a very good idea.
