Consult your doctor before altering your dosage. They can assess your individual needs and potential side effects. Increasing your dose without medical supervision is risky.
A higher dose doesn’t guarantee better results and may increase side effects like reduced libido or erectile dysfunction. Many men see adequate results with the standard 1mg daily dose.
Doctors sometimes prescribe a lower dose (0.5mg) for men experiencing side effects at the standard dosage. This allows for hair growth benefits while potentially minimizing unwanted effects.
If you experience persistent side effects, discuss them with your doctor. They might suggest a temporary break or a dosage adjustment. Never stop taking Finasteride suddenly without consulting your doctor.
Response to Finasteride varies. Some men see significant hair regrowth within six months, others take longer. Patience and consistent treatment are vital for achieving optimal results.
Regular blood tests are not usually required unless your doctor suspects a potential interaction with other medications or detects any unusual symptoms.
Long-term use (years) is typically needed to maintain hair growth. Your doctor will help determine the appropriate treatment duration based on your response and overall health.
