Is 0.5mg Propecia EOD sufficient?

[Borealis]

Hi there, I started taking name brand Propecia two months ago and I have alternated between 0.5mg every day and every other day but for the most part it's been every other day. I haven't really noticed any effects except arguably an increased shedding period but I experienced pretty mild side effects taking it every day, however taking it every other day I don't seem to be experiencing any side effects whatsoever. Still get morning wood, and random erections etc, hard as ever, no watery semen.

I just wanted to know if 0.5mg every other day was sufficient as I'm guessing the pharmacokinetics of the drug suggest it should be taken every day to stop body levels fluctuating in and out of the therapeutic zone. Any thoughts?

0.625 mg EOD has been working fine for me so far.

When you can get 5mg generic Proscar from Canada for $2 a pill why are you trying this medicine at such a low dose? It is all a crap shoot as is, just use the dose the study stated, 1mg.
