good video! always good to hear a different perspective on secondary effects of hair treatments. thanks for sharing…

Finasteride 5mg is prescribed for prostate problems primarily because inhibiting DHT has been shown to be very effective in reducing the symptoms of BPH and improving patients' quality of life. Although there is a potential risk of increased estrogen levels following a rise in testosterone, this risk is considered minor compared to the overall benefits of the treatment.

Would be great if you could do a video that goes detailed on the topic of dutasteride dosing. I've read every possible variation being used, from a pill daily to a pill weekly.

Great video doctor. It would be very kind of you if you could make a video on who should avoid finasteride

doctor is it possible to take an online appointment with you ?

1:56 This is interesting because I've been taking a tablespoon of organic pumpkin seed oil and organic stinging nettle syrup per day for over 12 months, I had a DHT test undertaken which shows my DHT levels were medium and my testosterone levels were slightly above average for a 48 year old man. Based on my observations, I don't notice any significant improvement in my hair loss.

Hi Dr Vikram, I mistakenly left my plastic container of compounded finasteride right in front of a fan heater for around 15 minutes, to the point where the container and the supplements got quite warm/hot (enough to warm my hands considerably but not burn them). When I realized, I immediately put them in the cool drawer that I usually put them in. Will the effectiveness of the finasteride be in anyway degraded with this type of exposure to heat for this duration? I've been taking the finasteride for eight days since this happened. Would you recommend throwing the finasteride out and getting a new batch? I want the full effectiveness possible and don't want any reduced potency.

Exceed video. Please consider doing another LLLT video.

this is always a big concern… what it does long term to Male hormones

Doctor, If we are taking finasteride or dutasteride without any side effect, shall it has any problem to our sex partner? or it will has any problem if we want to have baby?

I’m taking fin now for 1 month. 1mg every other day. I do feel a bit more tired but I find that sleeping well at night helps with this. So far I think I’m noticing increase hair? I know it’s early but so far so good I guess

Hi there, I've used finasteride for about 10 months with great results but stopped it 15 days before my marriage. It's been a month and a half since the wedding and my wife is expecting. I've been only using minoxidil for the last 2 months so I was curious if I can continue with finasteride again (does using finasteride while my wife is pregnant cause any side effects/complications for the child)? I've read somewhat conflicting instructions, but I would love an answer from you. I've only used topical solution

Will taking dutasteride at 18 mess me up sir. E.g further growth

how do u get a prescription with no insurance?

I am on finasteride aged 55 I am on hrt, can this medication bring my hair back? I have female pattern hair loss And does it make you put on weight thankyou 🙏☺️

If we only want to reduce DHT a certain amount to prevent baldness, isnt DUT too much then because it blocks like 90 percent of the DHT? But at the same time we get more DHT as we grow older right, so DUT may be good?

I tried 0.5mg fin daily for six months. In the beginning my libido went up, then it became normal, then it plummeted after a few months. I took three months off and went back to normal but my hair started thinning again. I freaked out and restarted, again same thing. First libido went up, then normal, then it eventually plummeted. I took a break for three months, again freaked out at the thinning, i restarted it again on july 1st, going to try 0.5mg every other day. I hope this works but if libido dies again after a few months i guess i just cant handle this drug so rip hair. Does anyone have any suggestions for the sides to go away? I dont even understand why taking 0.5mg every other day vs daily will even help since apparently the dht reduction is the same. So why do ppl get fewer sides with a lower dose if 0.25mg fin has about the same dht reduction as 1mg? Nobody ever seems to answer this question. The only answer that would make sense to me is placebo effect unless fin affects other chemical/hormonal pathways apart from dht that lower libido.

Does 0.1% topical finasteride has these effects Or i will have my normal testosterone levels ?

Im 48 now and now and certainly my body is creating less dht than it was say 10 years ago. The normal goal of fin is to reduce dht by 70%. Might i now be better using a very weak topical dose that may lower dht by say 20%. I.e the older you get is the liklihood that lowering dht by 70% going to be that whats left of your dht is just not going to be enough? I ask because i am getting more sides now than i was when i started on fin 5 years ago. My total t and free t are in the normal range but not that robust.

How many year I take dutasteride??

i got side effects the more i kept thinking i would have side effects. I started fin again with a different mindset and i feel nothing, still able to perform in bed and feel normal...

Is there any topical finasteride that you can apply directly on the roots of the hair. if yes is it any better than the pills. Thanks in advance.

Excuse.....you both people just explain pros n cons but you'll not tell whether it's safe to take or not ....you people give mixed opinions and making more confusions in the patient...okay !!!!!! Do one video which is related to androgenetic alopecia and effective treatments and what is safe to take for prolong

What about women?

This man has an amazing talent of talking about something without actually providing any useful information. He just keeps repeating same words and goes with typical "don't sue me" type of talk. Literally didn't get anything new out of this video. What a waste of time. He said everything that's been said hundreds of times over the last 10 years...

Having increased T as a result of blocking DHT does NOT give you 'increased T benefits' such as increased libido, muscle gain, etc... very much the opposite??? DHT is important for these functions, way moreso than testosterone. This video might be a bit of misinformation.

I used finasteride for 4 months then stopped. After I stopped my head hair continued to get thicker and my beard fell out. I was completely demasculinized by this drug

My dermatologist doesn't recommend it, because it affects everything in your body.

DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First talk in your mother tongue

Finasteride is as benign as a paracetamol.
