True that you only need to use finasteride 3 times a week?

Saw a video on youtube from 2 australian hairloss doctors explaining in detail that you only need to use finasteride 3 times a week and any more is a waste. Would this be true?

Interesting! I may try to skip a day or 2 per week now....but 3 days dosage only?....I would be concerned can lose the effect of trying to regrow at all.

I am splitting the 5mg so 4 to 5 days probably gives me plenty dosage anyways.

I was just trial taking 2.5 for some months now based on Berstein long term user recommendations of 5+ years that should be doing. But to these guys here it seems they say you reach a plateau where genetics takes over and a stimulator like minoxidil is more important and don’t need a higher dose (actually need lower!). Really have not see much change with increased dose so will stop, but it probably is a good idea to change the dosage once in a while to shock the system a bit....now at 20 years of usage.

I’m am going back to 1.25mg split. I’ll try it and maybe just reduce a day or two once in a while to see the effects and save some money/tabs.

Good to know thanks for great link of these Drs. Others vids decent also!
