First thank you both for providing such wealth of information to the public! You have reassured me on safety and effectiveness of Finasteride. You are the only doctors I found on social media that provide such clear and technical explanation on the meds which helps patient build trust in your knowledge. A clarification I did not find in your videos is whether generic finasteride is equally affective as branded Propecia?

This is a message to everyone who is considering taking finasteride, but is afraid of the side effects: People drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and take drugs but in the end the reason for their side effects is finasteride of course. (don't get me wrong, I am not innocent) Our mind is our strongest muscle in the body: If you think you can achieve something in life, you will get it (Law of Attraction), if you think you will get sick, you will get sick. If you think you are using a medication that helps you with your pain, you will feel relief (placebo) Just talk to your doctor, try finasteride out and see what happens. People here in the comments often talk about their horror experiences, but you never know what their motivation was for writing them (Game-Theory). The reason for their decrease in sex drive could have been anything, maybe they just aged and coincidentally at the same point in time they tried finasteride. Come on. In the US approx. every second person plays lotto at least once in a year and hopes to win the jackpot, with a probability of 1: >100.000.000 but they are all scared to take finasteride because they are scared to be 1 of the 100.

Cheers Doctors, I believe I am ready to go back on Finasteride after a 12 year absence. Do you recommend a daily microdose of .5mg? I'm still using minoxidil, but it's losing its efficacy sans finasteride. I hear constantly that any hair gained with minoxidil will be lost once minox is stopped, but if the follicle is still working, is it possible for it to return via finasteride (after initial fallout)? My entire hairline is intact, but there is thinning in the midfrontal region, that has only thinned out in the past 18 months. Is there a high chance of success for regrowth in this area of the scalp? Thanks and Best Regards! - Joey

I started losing hair around 21, and starting taking finasteride at around 22. I noticed reduction of hair loss after a month or two, and even some mild regrowth. At some point, I came off of it for about 6 months and I noticed a lot of shedding during that time. I came back on it and the improvements also returned. No side effects whatsoever. I'm willing to stay on it for life if it means I can even maintain the amount of hair I have right now.

I read that sometimes although the active ingredient is the same, SOMETIMES the BINDING chemicals in the Propecia tablet is of higher quality compared to the generic drug, which CAN mean the results of the Propecia is better than the generic drug?

Hi, dr I've watched most of your videos relevant to me; however, I just have one or two questions that haven't been covered by your videos. if you get time, can you guys address the following questions: 1) I'm an athlete, and I'm wondering what/if finasteride would have any affect on muscle hypertrophy? 2) what purpose does dht have on the body that might be affected by reducing its production? I know it's a more potent androgen, as mentioned in one of your videos. as you can see, my concerns are based on it affecting my athletic performance. many thanks

[@Phukyoududehonestly]

Dht plays a very small role in muscle growth. If your testosterone is good them your muscle growth will be unaffected by dht reduction.

[@Shoot4Nothing]

If you take a DHT inhibitor and you develop side effects, does that mean your body was using DHT as a compensation for low testosterone? Something to consider.

[@aclem8246]

You say that it does not affect the liver and kidney but recent studies say differently.

[@gameram6382]

Just started it today. Only had very slight loss at age of 39 so sod it see how it gose

[@gytisgytis5547]

I started using Finesteride July 28 2023. If someone have questions comment anytime.

[@swisstrader]

I’m stating on oral finasteride. At age 65, am I too late? Good hair sides and back but thin and bald spots on top.

[@jenverlopez4518]

hello i love this channel... im just wondering if i can still drink beer or any types of alcohol while on propecia? hope you answer my question .. thankyou

[@navalh8679]

Don't listen to these people who are clearly paid/get commission from Big Pharma to push Finasteride. Finasteride has permanent side effects for many people that are irreversible. Their studies don't mean shit because they were mainly funded By Big Pharma and many scientists and regulatory members of FDA were bought off. Their positive results were highly false-positively inflated. Way more people have reported worsening of hairloss and side effects on Finasteride than they advertise. These people along with many others are clearly bought off and are providing marketing for Finasteride obviously. Stay away from Finasteride whatever you do !!!!!

[@EarthsSaviour]

Great video as always guys, really appreciate it. I live in the UK and (like you) I made the mistake of using regaine first; I’ve been using it for around 6 months. I want to use finasteride however my doctor said that as I’ve only been using regaine for 6 months, they’re reluctant to give me finasteride until a year of using regaine! What are your thoughts on this? Keep up the great content!

[@akshyatankur]

It's exactly the same condition as mine, any updates now?

[@justinchristensen767]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you mentioned it is safe for the heart, liver, etc... I have mild kidney disease, is there any effect this medicine has on your kidneys? Thanks-cheers

[@Emantis81]

Starting on Finasteride today after getting prescription from my GP. Will be taking it @ 1mg Tues, Thurs, Saturday. Wish me luck I will keep you all informed :) Will be patient and wait for 4-6 months margin.

All the best!

How it's going? Any sides?

[@Emantis81]

@@ballislife9924 I started Minoxidil on Feb 10 once per day. No sides. Slight shedding now but that is normal. In fact once you start shedding more you know its working. No sides. I started Finasteride on 3rd of March. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. No sides a few weeks in.

How's the progress?

Dr's I am not over weight, I don't drink or smoke. I had surgery for Gyno in 2012 when I was 22 years old. My Gyno came back by 2016 and the surgeon said it's probably down to using Propecia (which I only took for 6 weeks) for hair loss. This put me off using any drugs for hairloss. I had surgery for Gyno a second time in 2016 when I was 26 years old. My Gyno has come back again but without taking Propecia or any drugs/vitamins what so ever. Do you think I should give Propecia another go as my Gyno has come back without taking Propecia and hair has been slowly thinning over the last 10 years?

[@Phukyoududehonestly]

Have they removed the gland twice or just using lipo to remove excess fat? If the gland is mostly removed then it would he incredibly difficult for anything to regrow it.

[@CarTorqSA]

I’ve been on fin for a week now, but I’ve had some bad headaches since I started so I’m going to take it 3x a week, I’ll update on the progress. So far no other sides.

Q. If you take fenastaride and testosterone (steroid) at the same time do u risk your estrogrn going to high?

[@Str8Rippin93]

I know propecia wont grow back hairline however can my crown area be back to a near 100 percent with propecia?

[@user-ck4iz5dh2q]

Does all your hair (not just the new/regrown/saved hair, etc) fall out when you stop taking Finasteride?

[@futureclean]

Should I still take finesteride while getting my 2 hair transplant tho? I don’t want to miss a dose cuzz…
