Ditch Finasteride Fears with My Proven Strategy !

[@routinelylazy8682]

Hello dr, my age is 22 years and I have had hair thinning from a long time. It has been going downhill from the year 2015. I don't have mpb but my overall density of hair has significantly reduced in these years. Diffuse thinning I believe. Mothers and fathers side is all bald, father got rapidly bald at 29. For a past year I have started working out and my hairfall has aggravated. My head has become visible. My diet has been very good and balanced with good amount of protein. Last 4-5 months my workout has been even more harder and so my hairfall is getting even quicker. I used to have social anxiety about my body but now I am a very fit mascular indivisual so my confidence is sky high. I want to hop on fin and min, have done the research and understand that the risk is not as severe as people make it out to be. What should be my course of action from here?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Thanks for the message and for watching my video. Please start with 0.5 mg a day and then we can scale up. What is your total testosterone level?

Excellent advice. 1mg is too powerful for most men. I was on 1mg/3x a week to avoid sides and still got them after about 3 months. I think 60-90 days is when the Finasteride begins its peak levels of DHT suppression, which then brings the side effects.

Doctor, thank you for the video and such useful information. May I ask you a couple of additional questions? 1) A person takes Finasteride 1mg every night and has no noticeable side effects. Do you still recommend him to take breaks every three months for two weeks? 2) A person takes Finasteride 1mg 6 times per week and 0.5mg of Dutasteride 1 time instead of Finasteride for that day. What about breaks for this case? Still two weeks for every three months? Thanks in advance.

After the initial results have set in, breaks are mandatory every 3 months for 2 weeks in my experience or else you will not only develop tolerance, but will develop side effects.

Hello Doctor. You’re doing such a wonderful job by educating us on different hair issues. I’m a 50 years old healthy man who just started taking 1 mg of Finasteride on alternate days. Just after my second dose I’m noticing an urge to urinate specially at night time which I have never experienced before. I have been doing regular kegel exercise from many years and that helped me with my bladder control. Since this medication is for prostate, like to know if this is a side effect that causing me an urge for urinating. If so, what can be done? Please advise. Thanks

This is not a side effect. The medication was initially used for just this purpose. To help people to have easy micturition. In fact hair growth is a side effect.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

I have a not too positive experience with people with OCD on Finasteride. They have a high chance of getting sides since they keep thinking about the effect Finasteride could have on their potency all the time- and this psychological overlay works negatively for them and for the drug's reputation.

Now I’ve interrupted for 2 months because I’ll have a hair transplant, I’m young Norwood 4 almost 5.

When would normally the sides begin and if they do and my banana doesn't rise anymore,:) , should I immediately stop or give it more time? I am 57 and the hair thinning has begun. I don't really see the point in raising the dosage on weekends, because I have seen studies that more than .05 to 1,g doesn't actually raise the DHT barrier. That is why lower micro-dosing is recommended to lower possible sides and still get the same level of DHT protection.

Hello Dr. Please I have one question and a follow up question on one idea. Do you advocate for taking the tablet before sleep as to get the peak concentration in the blood in the morning at 7-8 o'clock when the testosterone peaks? And is that important in the light of that the tissue "half-life" levels in the follicle are 30 days as opposed to half-life in the blood being 6-8 hours. Kind regards

[@hairtransplantinindia]

We talk of circulating levels and not tissue levels.

Hi, thank you for this informative video. I'm sorry if you have already covered this question, but is finasteride ototoxic, that is, is there a risk of getting tinnitus from taking finasteride?

No this does not occur with Finasteride.

Excellent Sir. Never seen such a detailed explanation. I have MPB and my crown started thinning. I am 38. I stared Finasteride last year and I took 1mg 3 days a week. After 4 months One day I got severe Testicular pain. I stopped the medication out of fear and my pain went away after 3 days. After seeing your video, I am thinking of taking 0.5mg alternate days. If I get the pain again, should I continue the medication, Is this type of pain common? Please advise sir. Thanks

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Thanks. If you get testicular pain, and this is common, wait till 4-6 weeks and it will go away as the body adjusts to changing hormonal milieu.

Sir would like to know what's your take on people with high acne on face and back.You had any patients.high acne is also related to high androgen hormones right. Will finasteride drug reduce their acne or will it make worse?

Great video sir. Is it true that finesteride can cross the blood brain barrier and thats the reason for long lasting post finesteride symptoms. I had side effects of finesteride after being on it for a month ( 1mg / day). Can someone who is not taking finesteride at least maintain their hair without further balding on minoxidil and PRP?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

It has to be a DHT blodker for these objectives. And PRP & Minoxidil are not.

[@mfabanwy]

Are the side effects of topical finasteride and ingesting finasteride very similar. The cancer ♋ side effect is what is preventing me from using topical or ingesting finasteride. All the other side effects am not worried about but the cancer ♋.

Topical is too low dose to have an effect, leave alone side effects. Women need to be worried not men.

[@bonyghosh601]

Thank you doctor for the wonderful guidance... doctor there is a query about when to take the finasteride as you say it has to be taken late night before going to bed but the time for going to bed varies for many...like you said staying up late has to be avoided but some people go to sleep at 12 some at 11 and some even at 10 and they wake up earlier than others too... What should be the difference in taking the finasteride then? Shall sleeping earlier and waking warlier than others change the testosterone boost rythm jn the morning and hence the finasteride efficacy too? What should be the ideal sleep rhythm to maximize finasteride effects?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

If you sleep early say around 9 PM, then please take the medication early morning say at 5 AM. If you sleep late say around 12 midnight, take it at bedtime. If you get morning wood early morning, it should be taken around 6 hours before to get best results.

[@bonyghosh601]

@hairtransplantinindia you said in a comment keeping in mind the modern Lifestyle the best time to sleep would be 10pm and wake up at 5am then should the finasteride be taken at 5 am too? And is it best to take 6 hours before waking up you are saying?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Has to be taken just once a day

[@chris5897]

Can you explain why it's recommended to take Finasteride in the evening because testosterone is highest in the morning? Im asking because you always say people dont need to take the medication daily, and you also say that one should do 15-day breaks every 3 months because of build up. So why then would the timing matter? Please clarify

[@hairtransplantinindia]

It's the peak blood concentration that happens 6-8 hours after taking medication. It should coincide with the early morning testosterone surge for the medication to be effective. Hence late night. If you are still not clear let me know.

[@chris5897]

​@@hairtransplantinindia sorry Doctor I still don't understand! So you said: The testosterone surge typically occurs in the morning. To effectively counteract this surge with a lower dose of finasteride, which has an 8-hour half-life, it's advisable to time the intake for the evening. This strategy allows for optimal blood concentration of finasteride during the morning surge, potentially explaining why some individuals experience better results when taking 0.5mg of finasteride in the evening, as opposed to the daily 1mg dosage in the morning, as you've mentioned. I find this perplexing because in your other videos, you've mentioned that some patients may not need to take medication daily due to its long-term buildup effect. In fact, you even suggest 15-day breaks every 3 months to account for this accumulation. Here's my question: Who is at a disadvantage in this scenario? Is it the individual taking 1.25mg of Finasteride in the evening for 6 days a week (with Thursdays off) totaling 7.5mg, or the person taking 1mg of Finasteride in the evening 7 days a week, totaling 7mg? Wouldn't both of them achieve similar results? Or could the first person be slightly affected by the testosterone peak on Friday morning? Yet, might they have enough Finasteride stored in their system from the buildup, making this distinction negligible?

Hey Doc, I'm from Germany. Do you know the term "German Angst"? A lot of people fear to take finasteride due to the bad reputation. However since two months I'm using Finasteride three times a week (1.25mg each). After six months I will change my dosis to 0.25mg each day. What is your opinion about the 0.25mg each day dosis? If I understand some studies right, the effect is nearly the same like 1mg each day. Thanks in advance.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Yes I am aware ! The proof of the pudding (as regards the best dose for you) is in the eating! Try it for one hair cycle duration and you will know whether to increase the dosage or stay at the chosen dosage.
