Thanks for the comment.

@Naveed Ahmed any sides so far ?

@Naveed Ahmed I took my first pill 3 hours ago, I’m nervous as hell haha. 25 with minimal hair loss but starting to recede, using rogaine 2x a day, and 3mg of finasteride a week. I swear to god if my dick breaks 😂😂

@Naveed Ahmed haha well everything seems normal except I did not wake up “happy” like I usually do. But it hasn’t been 24 hours, and that’s the only “negative” thing I can note, and I can’t even say that’s attributed to finasteride. Hope it all works out, within 3 months you’ll see some growth im sure of it!!

@Naveed Ahmed Well, I took my second dose, and everything has been normal, I don’t notice any side effects so far, but it’s still very early. Are you using topical minoxidil or oral?

We'll get there hopefully...

@Praveen Kumar Thanks.

The Hair Loss Show I hope you dont 😅 it would mean there is no cure for this cancer

@@TheHairLossShow I'm confused. You guys kinda contradict yourself You said no need to take 7 mg a week and 3 mg a fine but then say it's probably not doing anything. Is taking 2 mg a week worth it or not? Bc that's the most my body can handle.

@@TheJakeMarc if there is a side effect...stick to minimum dose your body can handle, they already told the reason...

Glad you like it.

Appreciate it.

i got recommended the same thing. Lazer and minoxidial and eventually pressured into a FUE transplant. I don't think Finasteride was even offered to me

I got recommended PRP. Its just greedy derma people trying to line their own pockets. Actual treatment for male pattern baldness are cheap. Min + Fin + ketoconazcole. That's it

Thanks

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Kevin Mann's is one of the best and he's certainly the most knowledgable who does a lot of in depth research and tests out a lot of the newer treatments himself. He's obviously not a Doctor though.

The Hair Loss Show can finesteride cure alopecia areatta ???

@@kevinwilson3337 No. Different cause and mechanism of action. AA generally resolves on its own. You can inject steroids into the lesion which has shown to be beneficial.

Do you know any good hair doctors in London I know that's not the correct term sorry

😂😂🎉

That's great to hear. Please provide an update with regard to your dosage if you can. Thanks.

Please provide an update

@@Olyrous Hi, Everything is going well. I have been on Fin now for just over 5 years.. I must say that I only used 1mg every other day for around 4 months and then I started cutting my tablets in half, 0.5 mg everyday the effect is still the same. If I hadn't taken action even as an older guy I am convinced I would have much less hair. My Finasterade are just generic

@@adilmahmood2269 Thanks mate, I've just put in a little update

@@mikeloveskimbo Thanks alot Mike! :)

Hey bud Good to know I've just started 1mg every other day Is it really effective? Means you're seeing any noticeable results with this dosage??

Did you experience any regrowth with just 3mg a week?

@@lucaa2524 update

@@simpslayer4793 hey It's been more than 3 months I took my first pill on 19th Jan 2021 First I was taking just 1mg/ every other day but when I got confident about that I'm not having any kind of side effects and all so from mid Feb I started to take 1mg/everyday No side effects luckily 🙏 No hair fall Volume and density of my hair increased significantly My meat is working better than ever 😂 Overall I'm happy 🔥

Pleasure!

how has your journey been?

We will be doing more patient demos. I think that is useful.

So you've never had problems with erectile dysfunction or loss of libido? I am 43 and this will my doctor prescribed it for me. I am a bit nervous...

Monday Wednesday and Friday?

No, it’s fine. put them in a tightly sealed jar together with a small satchet of silica gel.

Please no NOT attempt to dose dutasteride by yourself! The dose for BPH is 0.5mg (which is 12 times higher for finasteride), making it roughly 24 times as potent. Dutaseride is not licensed for hair loss for this reason, and a major side effect is breast cancer in men.

Yes it does in the beginning however this will grow back.

Hi there. The recommendation of taking a 1 month break is to reduce the possible side effects even further. The most common side effect is erectile dysfunction, and NOBODY wants that, am I right?

@@fratini. when can be useful to stop taking the drug? like 6 months ON and 1 OFF?

Hi ... Did you get prescription from local Dr or did you need to see specialist hair Dr?

Any update on 3x per week 1.25mg??

Any updates?

sarthak mohanty they normal just add that onto the 3x fin a week and 1 x 0.5mg dutasteride per week

yes

it is to either minimise or eliminate potential side effect.

Water.

Will add that to the list...

@@TheHairLossShow Alright! Looking forward to that. Thanks!

From a quick search online: Finasteride has a half-life of around six hours. This means that six hours after taking it, half of it has attached to the enzymes in your body. This continues, after 12 hours 75% of it has been used, after 18 hours 87.5% has been used, and so on. After a couple of days, all the finasteride in your body will have been used up. However, the enzyme it blocks has a half-life of 30 days, so you’ll still have blocked enzymes in your body, resulting in lower DHT levels, for up to 90 days later.

We have addressed this in our previous episodes.

Good luck.

How long did you stay on the Fin before you discontinued it? I was experiencing some sexual sides and they resolved after about 3 weeks(could be months) because the body adjusts. I think thats a key problem for many people. As soon as they experience the scary side, they immediately discontinue without realizing that in the majority of cases, the body normalizes the change in dht resulting in less or no sides. The only consistant side ive experienced is a decreased volume of ejaculation. Which is of no concern to me in the slightest lol

Cody Bell Glad that your sides stopped. I kept taking it for 18 months (because I was unaware that fin was causing the issue - this was 14 years ago, when there was less info readily available). My body didn’t adjust quickly after stopping either...

@@nicholasgeorge82 yeah thats known to happen in many people unfortunately. Small percentage of symtoms are persistent. But perhaps lessening the dose can help you lessen or eliminate side effects.

Same here. 2 years of panic attacks just from nowere (but finasteride). It's a very scary drug. Anxiety, blood pressure, fear of dying everyday, all day... Fucked my life for some years. I fear this medicine... At that point, I just didn't care about any sides. I was 20 years old. Lot's of T... Strong as hell...lifting weights and fuckin everyday. My lady is my witness of what I came through. Still with me 13 years after these horrible years of panic. I guess I will try topical instead. When I checked with a doctor, he asked if I had any contact with female hormones. My estradiol levels were higher than a woman in menopause. Remember that DHT blocks estrogen. So you block DHT and it won't block estrogen anymore. You're female hormones will start raising at this point. We're fighting a false "war"...baldness isn't a disease. We have to be very careful about blocking this hormone, that came naturally with all men. If its there, there's a point, right?

Results ? I have also started noticing some thinning and receding hairline on my left temple. I would appreciate the feedback

@@whitewolf2952 Hey man I started on 1 m mg finasteride 3x week at first, and it has worked, I got a little regrowth and it is kind of stabilized right now and I moved to 0.5 mg everyday now, and may even do 1 mg everyday at this point since I am seemingly losing a little hair (I'm not sure if its another finasteride shed which usually means more regrowth) But I am also using saw palmetto oil (hairmetto) on the temples as well. My advice is to start now and just play with the dosages at first. good luck man. I also am going to try micro needling my temples with 1.5mm roller or Derm pen a6 2x a month.

@@ameerskater Thanks alot mate for the feedback. Hope u the best.

@@ameerskaterany update on how you’re currently doing my man?

@@jaxonfrench6466 stabilized but starting to think again, effectiveness has gone down over time (but it’s still working or course) now I think I’m gonna hop on minoxidil too for my temples

Well it affects neurosteroids and that's a fact. Whether it will affect you mentally is another story but if you're already predisposed to mental issues like depression I'd be very careful with it.

I took it for 4 days and I had brain fog. My memory is always sharp and I never felt like this, so its finasteride related 100%.

@@Patrick.Basedman It doesn’t affect neurosteroids. The brain contains type 1 5 alpha reductase enzymes, not type 2 which is what finasteride affects.

I'm on 0.5mg every other day too. No side effects. Hair loss is stabilised, I may even have some regrowth. You?

Update?

Are u still taking finasteride? I'm post meno. Doc wants me to start on 1 mg. I'm so scared. Worried it will build up in my liver and I don't have a gallbladder.

1mg for a woman is just insane. Please change doctors. 0.25mg every reduces DHT about 80% of 1mg does even for males

I think that women need more finasteride than men. A study talked about 5 mg a day for women but it has to be confirmed. Spironolactone is more prescribed for women.

Any news about that? Have read the same..

How’s it goin? I’m 18 n alr losing hair I’m thinking of 3 times a week

update?

@@derpy6695 been taking the same dosage as you, now into week 3, so far so good and no sides.

Update please?

@@dunes1011 i’m taking the same dosage as him, so far so good and no sides effect., 3 weeks in now.

Thank you for the comment. I would probably still start on 3mg per week. But build up if things are not stable at 6 months. Ideally, you want to be on the lowest dose possible.

The Hair Loss Show Thanks very much!

So should i start 3 tables a week or 1 mg daily im 27 y.o

Amazing show, !!!!I’m 62 and have good hair, I was prescribed 1 mg per day, but I simply can’t handle it. Groggy, bloated, low libido. What do you suggest drop down to 3 mg per week or maybe two? Thank you for your response.

Which side effects did u notice?

What side effects pls tell me

No. It's ok stick on just on propecia.

I would say don’t try to increase dosage if you already got good results, just stick to it

Could you update on your results? Im 22 years old too and want to do 3mg per week

Same problem

Still on finasteride lad?

Update please?

I'm really curious about this as well

Really good question. It appears that fin is taken WAY more frequently than necessary. 3x a week should be the starting point.

1mg 3x /week

that´s a good question.can you doctors please answer it? thank you!

I heard alternate day usage is 80% effectivd

@@williamkelly5689 and daily ??

@@Akash_Fitness2312 obviously 100%

This didnt do anything for me. Wasted 150 bucks on the Hims solution.

I switched from 1g to 0.5mg for about 9 months now and the gyno I gained from 1mg went away.

@Gabe Gibson Did you lose hair on the 0.25mg dosage?

@Gabe Gibson did you lose any gains on the lower dosage? How are you feeling now? How's your hair?

@Gabe Gibson bro great news then, I'm not an aggressive balder, I'm 41 going on 42 but I'm definitely thinning, my crown is slowly growing a hole. Should I do. .5 3 days a week? You think I'll be able to build up enough to actually get results? I don't care if it takes longer, also I'm 6'1 240 pounds.

@Gabe Gibson i think that 0,5 mg every day and 1 mg every other day is the same thing. I will try every other day because i use fin 5 mg split in 4..i have tried to split in 8 but is better split only in 4 pieces..

have you tried ? ddi it make a differene?

@@SonyCamry yes the depression stopped. After listening to Dr Vik and Dr Russell saying only a trace of finasteride is needed to control DHT in the scalp, I'm now taking .5 mg twice a week. I'm hoping this will do the trick.

@@kevinbraud8570 thanks i had a similar experiece maybe ill try .5mg twice a week

@@kevinbraud8570 Hi, did lowering the dose reduce side effects?

Dustin Lee no it’s still spiking my Tinnitus. I stopped before seeing if it caused depression. My body (and mind) just doesn’t like this medicine.

It cant hurt, but I think its more likely to help maintain libido, then stop Gyno

@@mikemugs7 i think would be great to take zma plus dim to combat the eventual side effects

been wondering about the exact same thing, i was thinking maybe going for every other day which is 3 times one week 4 times the next week so 7 times per 2 weeks instead of 6

If you get no sides and it seems like the hairloss slowed down, then i would keep the same dosage.

Hamad what happened with u ? I’m thinking to start taking fin tomorrow thanks in advance

If with 3mg a week you achieve to stabilize your hair loss, you should keep on that dose; else you might should increase the dose to 4mg a week and see what happens after some months

@@alwaleed5190 I recommend u to start with fin. As you, I had been doubting a lot (because of fear of having side effects) to start, but after watch all the videos from this cannel, I decided to start with a 3xweek dose. The results have been quite well, without side effects. Of course, finasteride is not a definitive cure for hair loss (it doesn't exist so far), but it helps a lot to stabilize/reduce the hair loss (exact results vary according to each person).

R u kidding me?
