Dr Ferreira --- Thank you for all you do in this industry. You are a rockstar.

I should clarify that brand name Avodart is not feasible foe me financially.

Also give it some time my brother. Especially when you combine more treatments at once (minox and fin) remember shedding is part of the process and is actually a good sign

You should use a pill cutter to cut the 5 mg pill into quarters and take 1.25 mg daily. That's extremely common since it works out cheaper than 1 mg pills.

Thanks, but both the bottle and the pharmacist say not to cut the pill. Maybe there's different kinds or formulations? Couldn't believe that the Doc wouldn't listen when I told him in fact there are different mg dosages available..

@@tyreechiejackstone7379 The reason the bottle says that is because finasteride pills have a protective coating to make sure that the finasteride inside does not come into contact with pregnant women. Cutting the pill exposes the finasteride that's inside which can theoretically be handled by a pregnant woman. The pharmacist is simply going by what's on the bottle and doesn't really know what he or she is talking about, which is common with pharmacists. There are literally millions of men that split the 5 mg finasteride pill with no adverse effects and with great benefit to their hair (the pills are all the same, finasteride inside and neutral coating on the outside). I encourage you to reach out to the office of a well-known transplant doctor so they can corroborate this (I'm just a guy on the internet).
