I think I’m going to go ahead and try Proscar, but I have a few questions that I hope can be answered by the more experienced users. I know the proper dosage of finasteride is 1mg; however, I have seen several times on this board that many people only take .5mg daily (although sometimes I see this is done to try and alleviate existing side effects). I've also seen a few people take 1.25mg every other day. Is there any advantage to deviate from the recommended dosage? Is .5mg sufficient for the reduction of DHT?
My other question relates to mitigating potential finasteride side effects. I have seen three products, although I know there are many more, which people suggest to counter the increased levels of estrogen while on Proscar/Propecia:
DIM
Calcium D-Glucarate
Beta-Sitosterol.
Are these natural products helpful in reducing the possibility of side effects? I am already taking Beta-Sitosterol approx 350mg daily. Can I take this concurrently with Proscar? I ask this because I’ve seen on the web and on some boards that Beta-Sitosterol is a treatment for the reduction of DHT in of itself, and not merely as an anti-estrogen.
Thanks for helping, any is much appreciated.
