Finasteride ran out, is quitting cold turkey for couple weeks safe or not?

My next appt. with Doctor is in a week, had no Proscar/Finasteride left, didn't expect pharmacy refusing refill without new prescription. Is this a bad idea, can this cause negative sides or no?

No its good for your body but not for your hair obviously.

That's an ''how long is a piece of string?'' question............

It depends how long you have been taking it, and how much of your hair is dependent on finasteride.

For many a 2 week break will make no noticeable difference, where as for some it may cause a temporary increase in shedding further down the line.

regarding, would it be possible to cause any other medical sides by taking a 2 week break?, well that wouldn't be something I know, but I'm assuming it's unlikely to be an issue.
