This is a quote from this website on the info of propecia:

" Propecia should be administered at 1mg daily in pill form, with no exceptions. Many people talk about custom dosing, skipping days, doubling up, etc. This will not only do nothing to help your hair loss, but will also do your system more harm than good. Hormones are very delicate chemicals that operate in conjunction with each other Therefore a constant daily dose will ensure a stable hormonal environment, and keep your biology in harmony."

Any responses to this? Kinda makes me want to stick with the 1mg instead of lowing to .5

Well we know from the research that a 0.5mg dose (or even a 0.2mg dose) is clinically effective. Maybe I'm cynical but I can't help but think they're just trying to scare people to stop them from spending less money.

There might be some truth to skipping doses making it less effective but I'm not aware of any studies on that. Plus, the slow rate of turnover of the 5-AR enzyme would seem to suggest that skipping a dose once in a while is not a big deal.

1mg/day was simply an arbitrary compromise between effectiveness and side effects. 5mg/day gives faster results than 1mg, but 1mg is better than lower doses.
