Lower dose propecia

Post by Dod »

I have been on 0.25mg propecia for a month now, no side effects so far. In terms of hair loss well nothings changed. How soon does anyone see changes whilst taking propecia ?

My question is has anyone had success with such a lower dose ? James, i see you taks 0.25mg propecia, any success ?

Dr.Bauman states its a waste of time, but a dermatologist im seeing here say it could be effective.

Essentially if im wasting my time and money...any feedback appreciated

Cheers

Different docs recommend different things in this regard. Taking 1/4 of a proscar only 3 times a week for the past year has kept me from noticeably losing any my hair during this time. In other words, I think it has completely maintained my existing hair as is since last year. That's pretty good.

So I think it's quite possible that .25 may be effective. I believe there is a study showing that lower doses like this do have an effect.
