Hey!
Whatever you do, 1 every five day is NOT an option. As amed student who is currently studying drug pharmokinetics and pharmodnamics, the once a day dose is essential for the drug to stay in concentrations of its theraputic range; that is the amount of finasteride in your blood needed to suppress the 5a reductase enzyme to an extend o reduce hair loss. It is this continue suppression which finally allows the folicle to stop being attaked and the hair to grow ec etc.
However, most drugs are cleared from the body in preportion to the amount you have in your blood. I.e., the more in your blood, the faster it is going o be pulled ou of your blood and it will have a particular half life (i think finasteride is like 8hrs) where half of the 5mg will be cleared. So what ends up happening is that the five MGs is cleared from you body in effectively 2 days so that for the other 3 days 5a reductase is formed and the follcles are attacked.
the 1mg dose every day ensures that ou never step out of the theraptic range.
so put simply 5mg once every five days is hell bad and will do no help
Cut your pills man!
