When I find myself itching my scalp I take an extra 1mg finasteride and it calms things down. Sometimes I have to take an extra one for a few days.
Let's face it, there is nothing magically perfect about taking a 1mg finasteride (propecia) a day. Everyone's body absorbs, uses, and needs a different amount. The 1mg dose is a ball park amount. A guess, nothing more.
In any case, if you find yourself with an extremely itchy scalp, do yourself a favor, take an extra pill for a day or two and it will calm things down. It always works for me. I find I have to do it about every 3-5 weeks or so. Sometimes more often, sometimes less. I take the extra dose whenever I feel my scalp getting itchy.
