When is the best time to take Propecia?

[mompo]

Hey everybody I was wondering when do you guys think is the best time to take finasteride?

Is there a time during the day where your DHT level is maximal?

 

[Agustin Araujo]

You can take a Propecia tablet when you wake up every morning, or during breakfast, or during lunch, or during dinner, whenever it's the most convenient. I take a 0.5 mg Dutasteride capsule every morning when I wake up, that's how I like to start my day.

I take it at night just because I sometimes forget in the morning. I read somewhere that hormones are highest in the morning though.

I've never thought about this question but it's quite interesting. Anybody knows about research or recommendations?

There is no best or worst time to take your medicine. Just take it whenever you prefer, but be consistent and take it at the same time everyday.

I take mine when i wake up, on an empty stomach.

Although finasteride has a half life of a few hours it's effect on lowering DHT production lasts a week or 2 if I'm correct as it takes a few days for DHT levels to recover (happy to be corrected on this).

Therefore the time of the day probably isn't that important.

^ i think thats more factual in dutasterides case. 1mg of finasteride will keep your dht levels at bay for 2-3 days, hence why people could see success with the M-W-F regimen.

What is the MWF regimen please?

taking 1mg monday, wednesday, friday. alot of doctors advise their patients of taking that route.

Do you take generic finasteride, or propecia?

 

[mompo]

I took propecia the 2 first months, now I just started taking generic finasteride

If I try propecia im taking whatever is cheapest although even generic sounds pretty expensive still which is odd since its 20 years old and many years past patent expiration

Does not matter in the slightest.

 

[pepgea]

Agree. no difference at all as soon as you remind to take it
