A Complete Guide to Finasteride in Hair Loss & Hair Transplantation | 100 FACTS

This talk is a Complete Finasteride Guide and contains all the questions about Finasteride and its use in hair loss, balding and hair transplant I have ever been asked. To be clear at the outset, tailor-cut dosages of Finasteride are for hair loss treatment and not after a hair transplant when a dose of 1mg a day is mandatory in most cases. For other indications of hair loss, there is no one dosage that fits all groups of patients with hair loss. It is interesting how crowd behavior has evolved dosaging of Finasteride over a period of time in various permutations and combinations. Every patient is different with differing metabolism, differing risk tolerance and differing hardiness of the mind since the mind rules the body. This is important to understand since compliance is crucial while recommending Finasteride and the patient has to be comfortable using it. Clinics follow dosage regimens that best suit their patients and practice. Many a times this advice is without scientific basis or clinical propriety but has a salubrious effect on the patient’s hair loss.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information stated that lowering Finasteride dose to 0.2 mg a day eliminates side effects while remaining useful to fight MPB. But no hair transplant surgeon would have experienced such low doses giving salubrious effects in hair loss. Certain doctors prescribing miniscule apologetic doses of Finasteride 0.5 mg on Monday-Wednesday-Friday merely pander to the underlying fears of the patient who is wary of Finasteride. Any doctor who gives respite from his worst fears, is music to the patient’s ears! This dosing cannot do justice since average 0.2 mg a day is much below the effective dose 0.8 mg per day if we refer to the dose-response curve. Moreover, it does not cover the weekends when testosterone levels are the highest in the week due to outdoor activities. However, it has been seen that a daily dose varying from 0.5 mg to 1 mg is where the sweet spot of dosing of Finasteride lies. According to dosing studies, lesser than 0.5 mg a day does not work. So any dose that is sufficient to stabilize hair loss, maintain and regrow hair with no side effects is the optimal customized does for that patient.

Most of these guys reporting side effects are drinking and smoking or have shit lifestyle in general, that doesn't really help with processing Finasteride in liver, because Finasteride is processed by the liver and having Alcohol and Nicotine (which is a vasoconstrictor) flowing in your system is not conducive for effectiveness.

Very informative. Would like to share my experience with others. I started .5mg on alternative days after a gap of 6 months. I experienced testicular pain and stopped after 10 days. I got motivated by your videos and made up mind to use again at .5mg alternative days. Thankfully no testicular pain, but pain in right calf for 2-4 days straight which now has reduced.... secondly, don't feel fresh when I get up in the morning ..as if I have a hangover.... thirdly, get blackouts when i get up from sitting positions. I am not scared or anything to use it. I wanna give it a try again for 3 months after using it for 4 years straight 1mg daily! I want to actually but all this I am experiencing wish could be avoided. I have high metabolism , eat clean, don't drink or smoke. Thanks again and it feels good to read other people's experiences .the comment section feels like a hair loss forum 😄

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Thanks for the note. It is very helpful when patients give their own opinion and not just express apprehaensions they have acumulated through hearsay. I would like to see more updates about your Finasteride journey and I am sure others would like to as well. All the best.

The blackouts are because of low sodium in blood, the way you mentioned switching positions causing blackouts is exactly what happens when you are on low sodium diet. Check out The Salt Fix by Dr. James DiNicolantonio.

I've been on fianstride for 1 month and definitely am feeling the sexual side effects. I tapered down from 1 mg to 0.25 mgs x1 a day but noticed after a week that my sexual side effects have increased. At first it was just low libido but now it's hard to even maintain a boner lol. I'm 25 going to be 26 expected to get a HT soon. I'm nw3 with very thick hair. I feel kind of hopeless because of the side effects with fianstride. I want to maintain my hair and improve it but the side effects are kinda scaring me.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

If it is just the hairline and no other sign of thinning, it could well be a genetically determined high forehead and no baldness. If this is so, you may not need Finasteride. Let me know if it is any different from what I presume.

[@chadh6785]

@@hairtransplantinindia I dont think its just a high hair line but my mother has no edges and very thick hair. But all the men in my family are bald.

@@chadh6785 This makes you an ideal candidate for a hair transplant. Balding which stabilises at 25 is a rare thing. And if your baldness is stable even without Finasteride, you're lucky and can afford to take only minimal dose Finasteride; or even not at all.

I hope he was the doctor I met 10 years ago. The clinic In Ottawa mind you, that I went to quickly went to look at my donor area, although I had a hair full of hair. When I resisted the idea of Finasteride, they didn't address it and said that hair transplant will "cure" my baldness. Now after 10 years I am watching this video, shiny bald and I am trying topical finasteride. This thing works. Parts that were all gone are coming back. maybe I am a super responder, but I am seeing good results. Will get transplant later to fill in the rest of the baldness.

Hello guys , I have started aggressive baldness at age of 24 , so doc gave me 0.5mg Duestride everyday but I had side-effects on the 4th day I had intense testicals pain. The point to be taken note is that, The results of taking tablets where seen instantly, I used to have atleast 70-100 hair falling when I coumb in the morning which significant reduced to less then 10. I was really amazed but the side-effects couldn't be tolerated, I didn't have Ed or loss of libido I only expressed testicals pain. The duestride amplified the pains I already had like pain in lower back and legs pain. I have now taken break from it within 2 days the side-effects have gonna. So nothing scary too take it. If it works then you should have too take the risk to save you hairs

Thanks for the precise and informative snippets that you have compiled for finasteride , Dr Bhatti .You are doing a wonderful job . I would not expect a detailed answer from you for a youtube comment , but ill go ahead anyways. there seem to be a group of people including me who been using finasteride for the past 1 year and having good maintenance , only to see , not only shedding but also miniaturization to a certain degree since the psat 2 months. Due to this I have resorted to combining fin 1mg daily with dut 0.5mg once a week. As you have mentioned that the mind could govern the body in funny ways ,i started "noticing" that my facial hair growth has reduced minimally and my face has become a bit more rounder since starting Dut for the past 2 months. Any sort of anecdotal evidence from your patient care experince is welcome. Have a good day!

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Thank you for your kind words and for watching the video on my channel. Dutasteride blocks 94% DHT which causes facial hair and which maintains it. No this is never a concern with Finasteride since it blocks just 70%. The round appearance of the face could be since you are losing beard hair or they are thinning and this is changing the profile of your face. But it can also be due to higher levels of estrogen consequent to the DHT combination you are using. Time to get these levels checked.

[@heavymetalninjasword]

@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks for an almost immediate and elaborate explanation on the issue at hand , Dr Bhatti ! Going in depth into the video I have also noticed that you mentioned changing brands could lead to a huge amount of shedding , which ix almost exactly what happened to me .

Doctor, you are truly one of the best source of information and knowledge on the web for us young men with hair loss. I could not be more thankful for stumbling on your channel. My question to you is what the maximum level of estradiol and minimum level of testosterone one should have in order to start using finasteride. And secondly, I am a 21 year old men with a Norwood 2 balding and I was prescribed a dose of 0,25mg finasteride every day in order to minimize sides. Do you think this will be enough for my relatively low balding scale? Thank you in andvance!

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Thanks. Hormonal levels are no indication for dosing of Finasteride. They only help rule out pre existing hypogonadism or provlivity to get sides like ED and gynecomastia.

I’m on TRT and about to start finasteride I’m nervous and excited not sure if I will need more estrogen control or not will have to see. I feel well informed thanks to research and a couple lectures from this awesome doctor and I also get regular blood work. I just hope if I do get sides that they will go away with discontinue of use. It’s the “post finasteride syndrome” that is the most worrisome but this doc doesn’t believe in it and I trust him for better or worse.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

In those who re physically fit, and on TRT and Finasteride, side effects seldom exist. Unless ofcourse you are young and have hypogonadism.

[@44daggers44]

Great video thank you. Subbed! I’m 37 and been on 1.25mg of Fin for 19 days now. Noticed slight thinning for 6 months before starting. Now I think I’m starting shedding (around 150/200 hairs per day this week). Im wondering why blocking DHT tends to promote a shed? I understand blocking DHT will stop ‘polluting’ the growth of current and new hairs, but why does it promote the shedding? Is it because now the new hair “seeds” are no longer poisoned by DHT and are able to grow so the body sheds old hairs to make way for the new upcoming hairs?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Its because the DHT blockade allows the root to get healthier and robust. The root grows a stronger hair and this detaches from the previous. It leads to shedding.

[@44daggers44]

@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you so much for answering :) I really hope this means my drastic sudden increase in falling hairs so early into taking Fin is a good sign. It never fell like this before Fin. If I weren’t taking Fin, I assume these hairs would have slowly fallen out eventually anyway and just not had a chance to be replaced. May I ask a final question, am I right to assume the percentage of shedded hairs that will successfully regrow is genetic. I guess some people get little to no regrowth where some may see 100% and even extra hairs growing back?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

@@44daggers44 Shedding is a good sign when it happens after starting Finasteride. It is also a good sign after a hair transplant. It denotes life within- within the root that is active. Just as the tree that sheds and then after the cruel winter grows new bright green leaves.

Finastreide can not even grow hair that have thinned less than 50% of normal thickness.

[@ahairraisingtale]

Great video. One of the original purposes of Proscar was to reduce the size of the prostate which can have various health benefits like less frequent urination. In addition to blocking DHT which causes hair loss does Finasteride in 1 mg dosage decrease the size of the prostate?

1 mg is insufficient for this purpose. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for your informative video Dr. Bhatti! I'd like to ask for your advice. I'm on a 1 month break from propecia (I previously heard that you can take a 1 month break after the 5th/6th month. I started taking finasteride (propecia) 3 times per week about 5 months ago). After the break, I'm thinking about switching to proscar, due to the price difference. On question 35, you stated that switching brands may cause intense shedding (In my case, both the propecia and proscar have the same licencee company written on the box). After the 1 month break, if I continue with proscar instead, will I still be taking a risk of shedding or other side effects? I would appreciate your feedback.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Shedding is not likely since the company Merck has the same isomorphic form of Finasteride for propecia and proscar. But I am curious to know how you will be splitting the 5 mg proscar tablet into 0.5 mg pieces!
