Do you think it is suitable for a person suffering MPB to combat their hair loss by taking (1mg)Finasteride every 3 days?
Could there be any disadvantages to this?
I mean no disrespect, but I am always amazed when people invent their own medications, doses, and rules. Sometimes it is based upon fears that are not reasonable, and perhaps sometimes it is to cut costs. The recommended dosage is 1mg finasteride each day to treat hair loss. Taking it every 3 days will mean you have 2 days of no protection from the medication… so your hair loss will likely continue. The drug is out of your system in a day, which is why it’s a daily pill.

I went to a doctor six weeks ago and I complained about the price of propecia . He said that it would be cheaper for me if he prescribed a botte of 5 mg of finasteride , and that I could break them in half and take 2.5 every other day . What your opinion on this .
I’ve been taking 1mg everyday since 2002. I’d hate to start loosing the hair that has grown back .
