This channel should at least a million subs, very full of knowledges, thanks docs
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT GIVES PROPPER AND EXACT INFORMATION
This is without a doubt the best Channel by far about Hair Loss and its Treatment! Thumbs up for both of you!
thank you for getting straight to the point and no-nonsense talks. Highly appreciated!
Thank you for all the valuable informations that you are giving us. Do you recommend the combination of propecia and minoxidil?
Excellent video Docs. I'm a hair stylist who works with hair replacement systems, but having medical knowledge is always great to talk to my clients. Thank you
WAIT. Lol, can you only get Keeps deliver to you if you live in the USA? That's batfluffcrazy! Why would they limit you and themselves like that?!
@@slevinchannel7589 it’s for legal reasons, different countries have different restrictions on the drug
It's great that you're looking for actual solutions and not pushing money making fake products as a hair stylist.
This show is so good, i really love the way you think about the numbers in science, im a student of kinesiology so very often i think in terms of dose-response relationships... Very sophisticated information here, thank you so much for sharing :D
Appreciate it.
Bro do finasterade affects beared growth
Finally a simple straight forward explanation of how it works and how to administer it. Thanks!
Best video on fin Ive seen. Interesting how Russell speaks confidently to the camera yet Vikram speaks to Russell as if to make sure Russell approves of what he's saying
Probably because he’s a student of Russell
These 2 doctors are sharing amazing valuable information. I’m so glad I was able to find their show
Me too as I am just starting my journey on Propecia (Finasteride) today and will follow these professionals advice and take 1mg three times a week. Tues, Thurs, Sat. Too many fear mongering on the net. My GP was so ill informed and only concentrated on the negatives. I know she was only a GP not really her field. But after telling her I have been looking into this for some time she insisted on making sure I do know of these side effects. Glad I got the prescription though.
Emantis Reviews whats your experience?
@@kloschuessel773 so far no side effects 5 weeks in. 3 x 1mg per week. I will keep updated each month.
Emantis Reviews have you made blood samples?
Maybe check for changes in neurosteroids or estrogen etc?
Bcs apparently thats why some get sides
@@EltonJ1981 how's it going now?
Best video about finasteride out on TH-cam super underrated
Honestly, those guys don't know what they are talking about. Because of guys like them guys get sick and kill themselves.
@@simonbreidert5683 what r u trying to say?
Simon Breidert what do u mean?
@@simonbreidert5683 what you say is based on nothing, ive been on it and my sex drive even has increased, which is possible too because of more test
My sex drive decreased 100 percent when I took finasteride. I could only get a hard on by myself and couldn’t even keep it up it was embarrassing
I really appreciate your clinical perspective here. Very interesting and certain informs my practice!
Thanks so much for the information. I recently had an FUE procedure and was very concerned about starting finasteride and the potential side effects. This information has helped to put my mind to rest about starting the medication. Thank you
Great show guys. I think it’s brilliant that you two just stick to the facts and we don’t have to wait to wade through banal comments like other shows by non medical podcasters. Please keep them coming. Much love from the USA!
Thanks!
More like choosing which facts to share, and which ones NOT to share. Nothing but an insidious sales pitch brought to you by Merck. Try taking it Shawn
@@lookUp45 sounds like somebody’s got a limp biscuit
@@shawnfloyd8739 More likely than not a salty slaphead too.
maybe a stupid question but, how do you notice a decrease in libido ? How do you notice it ?
Found you two by accident love the information
Fantastic very informative best I've seen answers all the questions thanks for reviewing these
The only video I've come across to date where everything shared is research-based. Good job, mates xo
good luck ruining your life
Started taking it back in march, 3mg a week (keeps), was good until about September and I noticed some side effects, slight ED, lower sperm volume that stuff. Got off of it just to be safe, we were planning on trying to conceive again. Side effects were gone within like three weeks of getting off of it and wife is pregnant now. But just throwing my story out there for anyone who might find it useful
Its useful. Had any regrow?
Dont get back on it. You're clearly sensitive, and lucky that your sides went away. You dodged a bullet.
How do you know it is your kid? Women want the best genetics remember.
@@DurianriderCyclingTips Wtf lol
I'm 34, just started following prescribed directions- I took 1mg Monday through Thursday and already noticed less wood in the shed and 50% reduction from previous super soaker abilities.
I'm going to downgrade to 3mg a week instead of their reccomended 7mg a week regimen and hopefully that nixes the side effects.
Thank you Jeremy Corbyn
I thought so too
You're not funny
So helpful! 3 times a week makes a lot of sense!
Beautifully explained…. Ty docs…. You truly save lives
The world is STARVING for high-quality, informative, fact driven and, quite frankly, entertaining content like this. Its is such a relief to hear two experts such as yourselves illuminate the topic. THANK YOU!!
(I'll be copying and pasting this comment onto all the videos I watch of yours because it's nothing short of the truth)
Youre comment makes me think you want various youtubers that
produce high-quality content, yes?
May i recommend you some? Wherever its science or general education, i got you covered, mate.
@@slevinchannel7589 I would be interested
Hmm okay very informative! I think I've been convinced to take it. Thank you!!
@@Jay-eo3wl nope. And it defo did stop the hairloss for the duration of me taking it, I think. Every 2 days like they said
@@Jay-eo3wl hmm my hairloss was pretty gradual, and I was not exactly too consistent with the use at times. That's why I said "i think". The hairloss really did get worse after stopping for good though. I obviously can't be sure, but maybe one could build a resistence to the substance especially with higher doses, and the effectiveness won't drop as quickly with the every 48 hr dose? Another thing one can't overlook is how the majority of the people taking these pills are in their 30~40's. We get less testosterone, we get depressed, we see bunch of assholes getting ahead in life around us, AND we are taking these pills, reminding us every time that there is something wrong with our body. Not exactly a great environment for libido.
Oh and we're probably with a long term partner as well, which is, you know how things get...
I mean, sure. Maybe the pills lower libido, strictly from the chemical effects of the substance in them. But I don't think it's so bad as to completely wipe away an average amount of sex drive a man would have, if he was content with his life. Oh, not assuming anything about your life here, of course. Just in general.
@@Jay-eo3wl Yeah I do think transplants are worthless as it doesn't address the root of the problem at all, and you are carving up your skin to "pour water in a cup with a hole in it."
To be honest, I've half given up on my hairloss until they really come up with some crazy stemcell shit that will really change the game. I'm not into spending money and time to postpone the inevitable, while dumping a bunch of chemicals that I'll never know how they are made. They often put some real sketchy stuff in when they isolate chems and what not...
@@burger1113 Congrats, you scared yourself out of finasteride and lost your hair forever. Bravo.
No future treatment will help you, if you don't have any hair to work with. No stem cell can regrow a dead hair follicle.
Cheers!
@@milenavidmar2733what's your f** problem
Great video n very valuable information which even our local dermatology don't provide
Best video on finasteride I have ever seen, fanstastic work guys!
I've been taking Finasteride for 15 months now and NO side affects. My only regret is I didn't start taking it earlier due to all the bullshit fear mongering about Finasteride.
Did u regrow any?
It's not bullshit fear mongering though. Some peoples' lives HAVE drastically changed as a result of taking it, even though there is a slim chance of experiencing it.
@@bestofmovieclips3547 I also need to know this
@@danw1594 libido in man is very much influenced by our emotions. So if you think you have a problem means you probably will...
lo l there is such thing called “ placebo effect “ and it’s very powerful. I’m sure there is guys who are just imagining these propecia side effects
I just heard about these side effects recently. As my son is using the product, I have concerns.
Your video seems well informed and has eased my worries a bit.
how is your son getting on with it now?
Thanks for the quality information! Excellent video.
I am so grateful for both of you! God Bless!
Saw Dr Knudsen a few years back in Canberra. Recommended that I don't get a hair transplant and to reduce my does of Finasteride to three times a week. A lot of respect for him.
Hey bud how much mg of dosage do you take?
@@nob1130 1.25 mg 3 times a week. I just break up the 5 mg into quarters. Seems to mitigate the side effects.
@@leftspeaker2000 thanks :)
Great video! Do you have any studies or resources that show finasteride staying in the skin for 30 days? I am interested to know more about it. Thanks!
This was really informative! Thank you guys!!
Thank you gents. Very, very informative and helpful 👍
I took it for about two years, and it was bad stuff. I started in my late 30's. I had some erection problems, but the worst was not being able to finish sex. After I stopped taking it, the side effects lingered, and may linger a bit today (almost 50) I would have gotten in on a class action lawsuit, but I took the generic. I have been told that I was in a small group, but when it hits you, it sucks.
The best combo of doctors I have ever seen, breaking the myths and spreading the knowledge!!
Cheers!
Murderer doctors*
very very useful info. tHANKS A LOT! you haven't mentioned about the initial finasteride effect of HAIR SHEDDING. Can you comment on this? how often does it happen?
Really interesting! Happy to get this POV
Wow, reducing the dosage drastically cuts down the cost too 👌
Wdym? Ive heard you get the opposite effect and even more hair loss if you stop it.
I was prescribed 5mg the doctor gave me that because it’s cheaper and I was told to split into into 4 peace’s the pill is so tiny so I asked the pharmacist for a pill splitter and i split the pills at home. I take the smallest peace 3x a week so that’s 12x a month. I’m perfectly fine no side effects. I think people are taking way too much.
I hope you’ll see my message. I got diagnosed with lichen planopilaris and my doctor thinks its specifically FFA. I’m on plaquenil but I’ve read that finasteride is way more effective in FFA. Do you recommend Fin for FFA and do you think its enough to take it 3 times a week?Thank you🙏🏻
Go to a doctor for a checkup. No self respecting doctor would advise someone over a youtube comment!!
Great stuff I’ve been documenting my finasteride experience on my own channel! Keep it up mate

@@johngreen1683 Nice. Im this close to jumping on fin. Any bad sides ?Thanks for the reply .
@@sgbabyflex Not that I've noticed. I take Fin. as suggested by the doctors on this side. I do TRT (pellets) and my labs show usually a Test rating of around 1000 with sufficient free test. Good luck!
Incredibly helpful. you guys are the best
Very insightful, excellent video
After watching tons of these videos, i must say i really liked this one.
Because you aren't directly promoting some link benefiting you from sales and you guys explain everything in a way i can understand and it gives me a bit more confidence that you guys are proffesionals
I'm thinking bout maybe trying the low dose treatment because minoxidil itself just ain't cutting it for me
Gonna go to the docter in 2 days for advice and see if i really want to go through with this
But at the very least i'm not going balls deep 5 mg everyday without knowing what it does to me
Who the hell said you go balls deep 5mg in first place ? That dose is not for treating hair loss but for prostate issues, however the hair loss dose maximum is 1mg per day and these doctors are saying you don't even need that, you need only 3mg per week so you don't take it that frequently. Make sure you watch the other videos, ain't no way you gonna dive into 5mg under any circumstance homeboy
@@AbdelbarrMalki idk, i saw people comment that they were taking 5mg for it to work for them, but yeah now i know 1mg a day max is the way to go
@@AbdelbarrMalki he said “I’m not going to”
I just want to know that since I am using a topical solution having 5% Minoxidil and 0.1% Finasteride, am I recommended to use oral finasteride 1mg thrice a week or should I go to the medical store to see for minoxidil 5%only solution to use oral 1mg finasteride tablets?
Thanks for the informative video. Would you please elaborate on the effects after stopping the usage? Would we suffer from immense loss of hair after stopping for good? Lot of information on the internet saying all the hair gained with Finasterid would go away soon after.
Yes, you will continue to lose your hair like you were never taken it, because finastride blocks the production of DHT( which is main culprit in hairloss). once you are off of it, you DHT production will go back to normal and you will lose your hair.
brilliant video! very informative. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
This was very good information. I started it once. Felt great, hair follicles were coming back then i stopped. I finally said I’m going to do this and stick to it. But the 3 times a week sound like my next strategy. Thanks Docs.
You are most welcome.
How'd you go?
I’ve been taking finasteride for close to 25 years… Started at age 20 when my hair was falling out way more rapidly than a single guy ever wanted it to. Anyway, I have had zero side effects. In fact, if you ask my wife, she would say I should take some more considering the loss of libido being one of them. By the way, I was originally given the 5 mg dosage because the doctors were still fairly new at understanding what I can do but a few years later the 1 mg dosage became a thing. So basically, I’ve been taking 1 mg for over two decades, and have for the most part kept the same head of hair in that time.
Any kids?
zero side effects or loss of libdo?
1mg a day u mean?
Has anyone else realised that “side effects from medicine” is a contradictory statement? You’re literally putting a poison into your body
Do you 💨 less?
Your videos and knowledge give me so much hope.
Great piece of information, thank you!
Wow! This is freaking awesome! I was one of those “scared” people you talked about and this not only calmed me down, but also informed me very well. Thank you. Feeling much more confident
same here im so scared to take it especially the man boob and cant get a hard on part lol the mood thing i dont mind at all
SCC I actually started taking it...maybe a week ago. Goin good so far following what they said
Brian Bailey how’s it going for you? I’m very interested in taking it myself.
@@Matthew-zf3mw Hey Matthew. Tbh man its actually going well for me. No side effects so far. Been taking 1mg pretty much every day, tho sometimes I forget. But my thinning has slowed for sure and no new spots. I've been taking it with minoxidil. Not much new hair yet but its only been 1 1/2months or so. Will keep you posted tho.
Brian Bailey thanks I appreciate it. Glad to hear it’s going well for you, I think I will try it very soon but won’t lie still hesitant. You’re comment has assured me it will be fine
Thank you for the video and advice, Doctors. I have a question. Since finasteride does increase testosterone levels, is it unsafe to take it with other supplements that also may increase testosterone, like ginseng?
Great video and I appreciate all the info.
We had a lovely young female on to speak about her alopecia - it was a very enlightening conversation and she was so open and honest :) I learned so much about it!
This was a brilliant, very informative podcast. Thanks a lot for sharing such a useful information. I stopped Propecia in 2017, after using it for 3 years. And since 1 year. I am seeing more hair loss. I am 32, turning to 33 if a few months. I was seeking for some serious, honest and scientific information. I feel lucky to have this video on internet. Thanks again.
Why did you stop using finasteride?
Why did you stoped and in those 3 years did you saw any change ?
His penis was dying indeed
@@medmotivation98 Probably affected his sex drive quite a bit. Certain periods that people go through overtime where they notice decrease or even increase in sex drive.
maybe a stupid question but, how do you notice a decrease in libido ? How do you notice it ?
Do you suggest taking zinc with finasteride to decrease the risk of side effects? and does using zinc with finasteride makes the finasteride less effective or it doesnt have any role in the decreasing or increasing the finasteride effect ?

How did it go?
@@cryptosquall3535 I’m on the 5mg dosage and I split the pill into 4 peace’s and I take that 3x a week 12x a month and I’m pretty fine and I save money on the refills because I’m not taking that much the bottle lasts longer. Plus my doctor told me to do this. Just wish the pill was not so small splitting it into 4 peace’s it’s so tiny. Thank god the pharmacy gave me a pill splitter.
Update??
@@cryptosquall3535 I’ve been using it for a month now a short time and so far so good no side effects. It’s only been 30 days I was given a peace of paper that lists all the side effects that if would happen would be after a month and I have nothing. The side effects are so low you probably won’t get them anyways.

Thank you so much for this. Just saw doctor for this and started on it today. Researching everything first.
how is it going?

Pls share progress
Thank you so much. You two are amazing.
Thank you so much, this was very helpful.
Thanks guys. I bit the bullet, went to my doctor and got a prescription for finasteride thanks to your videos. Taking 1mg three times a week along with 5% minoxidil twice a day and micro needling with 1.5mm derma roller once a week. I’ve been a long time user of minoxidil and had great results, but as I’m getting older (33 years old) my hair wasn’t progressing anymore.

I saw a study that said up to 60% of users had severe depression with suicidal thoughts.
I’m so happy I found this video. I have been taking finasteride for about 3 years at 1mg daily. I never missed one day and I have noticed I’ve gained significant amount of weight in the past 3 years. I will start taking it 3 times per week from now on. If you perhaps see my comment, I would love to know if I should take a break and then start the new schedule or if I should just lower the dose and not take a break
Hey doctors, and everyone! Can we take Finasteride (1mg) and PreP (Truvda/Ricovir/Tenof em etc) at the same time? Does it have any effect on each other?
Well, since nobody responded, I'll give my experience: I'm no medic neither I found a study about it, but I took them simultaneously for a year, nothing happened. I did have some stomachaches, but don't know if it was related. I used to take them both at 8pm, so I started taking finasteride earlier with lunch. Also I questioned my doctor who prescribed me prep and he said it was no big deal. But you gotta do the prep exams to keep watching how's your body doing.
@ if you’re not pos, why would you? Omg ppl nowadays put whatever in their bodies, 🤷🏻♂️ personal decisions

hi are you still taking finasteride and if so did it help bro i need answer lol
Since January I have been taking Minoxidil for my MPB. It wasn't until this channel that I was being brave and decided to start taking Finasteride. The option to do it 3 times a week just made so much sense, and the results for me personally have been amazing! I did a whole 6 month video about the treatment and the before and after just made me realise how much it all grew back! I haven't really noticed any side affects other than a bit of brain fog, but I imagine it to be much of a placebo affect anyway, (If you think you will get side affects, you probably will!) Thanks again Vikram and Russell!
Congratulations.. I just started fin.. In howmany we could know whether it is working or not..
Praveen Medarametla for me it was about 2 months!
Hey. I've been taking Minoxidil for 5 months now and I want to get on fin. My only concern is, if I start using fin, will I go through the shedding phase again?
@@MeherShouri most likely, but shedding is completely normal, you don’t really stop shedding hair it’s a natural cycle that occurs every few months
I am at the second week and have a question, did you feel any lack of libido, it says in the package that your body will get used to it because since 3 days ago I don't feel any sexual interest
I just want to say thank you so much for providing this information. I'd been on finasteride 1mg/day for 5 months and started to experience frequent testicular pain and ED. I'm going to give it a break for a few months to see whether those side effects disappear and then I'll reassess dosing or permanent stoppage. It's nice to know that this won't last forever.
Hey, since this is 3 weeks old now, have your side effects disappeared?
Please share your experience
Have ur sides went away?

update?
Outstanding gentlemen. Thank you much
Taking oral finasteride 3x a weel sounds really good.
Will applying Topical Finasteride 3x a week also be effective in terms of hair regrowth and limiting side effects profile?
Where can one buy finasteride?
I heard topical version has yet to be approved, so they sell it as such but its not that safe to say it will help as the pill
Great video. Was exactly what I was looking for amongst all the stupid scare mongering. Well explained very informative.
Pleased to hear that you are enjoying the content.
I hope you get pfs lol
Sides are real
@@youn177 yeah, thats a risk that comes with all medicine. they're pills not nanobots. you aren't going to get a perfect drug. the way medicine works is to weigh the pros with the cons, test it to see if you have side effects. if you have side effects and they are too much to bear, stop taking the medicine. it will leave your system eventually. in the mean time you can look for other methods to treat the problem.
I'm afraid pharmaceuticals don't pay out millions in compensation for no reason. Also, the med comes with a label that warns of potential irreversible side effects. I guess that is scare mongering too right? These doctors don't have your best interests at heart.
Great video. Learned alot !
Very helpful and informative. Smart with the lowe does/ 3x a week.
Great video Drs. Do you have an opinion on the effectiveness of saw palmetto rather than finasteride? I was once provided that as a hair loss option by a hair loss clinic.
Yes. I have the same question
Not effective at all, have to take finasteride OR dutasteride to combat DHT.
It helps a little. But not much. Better to take fin low dose like .5mg daily plus saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil. Plus wash hair with sulfate free shampoo, sleep well and try not to stress
This helped me so much THANK YOU, I train 5 times a week for 2hrs never had 🍆 problems! Start to grow my hair back but was having problems getting GOING so I thought I was screwed scaled it back WINNING! THANK YOU THANK YOU

Started losing my hair in my early 20s. It became noticeable at 22.
Hopped onto finasteride, and then had a small transplant to thicken up the thinned section (thank God for cheap Estonian cosmetic surgery).
Very satisfied with the result. The transplant did most of the heavy lifting visually. But I'm hoping the finasteride will prevent further progression.
@Doni99 After a hair transplant you definitely do want to treat the alopecia somehow, or the new hair will just fall out eventually too.
Finasteride has a very low risk of side effects at the dosages used for hair loss (1mg 3-7x per week) You can definitely get them, but some 97% of people don't.
A lot of the horror stories for side effects come from prostate hyperplasia treatment, which is at a 5-14x higher dosage.
And none of the side effects are permanent. So if you do get them, you can just stop taking finasteride.
If you do get side effects, another option would be platelet rich plasma therapy. Which has shown to be as effective as finasteride. With virtually no side effects. Though is more expensive and a pain in the ass.
@Doni99 took 6 months to recover. Had quite a bit of shock loss, but I kept my hair very short for that period of time so it wasn't too noticeable.
@Doni99 I trimmed it to 3-4mm every couple weeks.
@Doni99 I waited a couple months, but i've heard other people recommend waiting 3 months.
@@Erowens98 new (transplanted) hairs don’t just fall out .. they are permanent. They come from the donor area for a reason because it’s not susceptible to MPB.
I take Finnastride and haven’t noticed any sexual problems. But I also do take very good care of myself. I don’t drink any alcohol at all, I don’t smoke or take any drugs, I exercise hard at least 5 times a week and I eat very healthy too.
I started losing my hair at age 19 and once I started taking Finnastride, my hair loss stopped.
Now I also did have my hair restored, but the surgeon told me that I should still keep taking Finnastride and that I don’t need to use rogaine anymore. My hair looks great and even though I straighten my hair, I do take good care of my hair and I use coconut oil which helps a lot.
I think the side effects happen for men who don’t take care of themselves, who are overweight, unhealthy, consume lots of alcohol, smoke, don’t exercise, and eat junk food consistently.
If you eat healthy, workout hard, drink lots of water, who don’t masturbate anymore like I do, I’m on day 80 now of Semen Retention, you should be just fine.

What stops each of you from taking it. Honest question. Thanks!
Great channel! I am about a year into finasteride. It took a couple months to notice side-effects. Since then I have had multiple side-effects, but I also recognize that I have approached this process with anxiety and likely am suffering from the nocebo effect. I have taken breaks from usage, and the side-effects have reversed. Still in the process of finding the right dosage.
Ru58841 my friend
if you don't mind me asking. how quick did the side effects subside when you stopped the dosage. because recently ive been getting those side effects pretty annoyingly and might just stop outright
@@ryanbrandsen7703 how about reducing from daily to 3x per week?
you should just stop taking it altogether if your side effects are still reversible, seriously dont play with fire. take it from someone who stopped once it was far too late. keeping your sexual health and sanity is far far greater than keeping your hair.
@@ryanbrandsen7703 how are You Now, man? Have You revered 100%?
Docs. What an excellent video. Thanks. Question. Your scientific explanation states that the drug blocks some of the enzyme and some of the conversion of T to DHT. My question is why does that conversion only attack certain hair to begin with (like hair thinning on the top or front of the head vs. the side of the head or facial and other hair)? Thanks in advance.
The hair follicles on the front and crown are the ones susceptible to DHT , back and side are not.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for this video. Very informative
Thank you so much for this Docs!
what if i want to have kids? How long will i have to wait?
Can you do a video about finasteride over 40 and 50? If they work or not.
I started at 48. It worked so well that my kids compare my photos after a year and I look so different. . Combined it with rogaine/minox. Now I take 0.5 mg only just to maintain the gains. Skipping for a few days every 2 months to clear out residue from the body. Skipping few days doesn't kill the hair. Hair takes months to die out. Exercise and tone up also helped to negate any hormonal side effects. Trust me - the joy of seeing the hair line and thickness is sooo exhilarating. Not many things excites people after 45 - but regaining my looks made me feel like a don..
