Great advice! I've bean on finasteride for 4years with no side effects so far ! I started at 52 years old, and only have mild receding hairline. But to avoid any side effects I'm going to take a 2-3 week break like the Dr said! Great video.
I have a couple questions 1. What is the daily dosage you recommend? 2. When you take a break every 3 months do you go off the drug cold turkey or do you taper down?
The dosage depends upon a lot of variables that are specific for an individual. 14 days break has not problem since the receptors are suppressed for longer.
This video about Preventing Finasteride Side-effects. is absolutely amazing..I really loved the way how you explained each and every important things on this topic.
Unfortunate that I saw this video late. Been on Finasteride(for DPA/DUPA) for about 2 years (1 mg/day). I got ED and my doc lowered my dose to 1mg every other day. That improved my ED almost to normal before getting low again. So after 3 months he asked me to go turkey cold. Now it's been 2 months since I'm off the drug and experienced the deception in the first 2 weeks where my erection is back to normal and all the symptoms you mentioned above. And now my doc asked me to get back on the drug since I have heavy hair-fall now. Basically I went turkey cold and now I'm back on it. now will it undo the damage? what should I do please help doctor!
Your suggestion and guidance is superb respected doctor.I really salute you to share this valuable content.I willbe very grateful to you.and a lot of thanks
Very informative video. Thank you for putting it together. It is obvious that you are knowledgable and looking to share information and educate based on your experience and expertise. 🙏
@@hairtransplantinindia Ty , I’m on finastride , should I combine that with oral minoxidil or just stay on finastride, I’m 45 just thinning a bit at the crown area
I been taking finastride and oral minoxidil and I gotten amazing results , if I stop minoxidil and just continue with finastride will I still maintain my hair???? Please help thank you and love you channel
Thanks. Yes you will still retain hair but will be some amount of decrease in hair thickness that was due to Minoxidil. It is variable from one person to another.
I have a question doctor, I have been taking finasteride 1 mg as a precautionary measure as per your diagnosis and I do weight training at night according to our discussion i was taking finasteride when it can counter the surge of finasteride after the workout, that is the morning I was taking but should I switch to night consumption to balance the morning testosterone surge, thanks for your response in advance.
great video thank you! I cant believe changing brands has an effect. I have lost ground the last few years after changing brand but It's so hard to pinpoint if this is the reason why and I have read other people have said the same after changing brands I don't understand how if you are still getting the exact same amount of the same drug a day? My other culprit was taking test boosters for the gym such as Animal M stak, tribulus, turkesterone. I have constantly taken 1 mg finasteride and topical minoxidil once sometimes twice a day but lost some ground
Sir i want yo consult you regarding my hair fall and thinnig of hair my grand father and father have baldness so can i take finasteride and which brand is best
Thanks for your video! Just subscribed to your channel lately! Taking Finasteride 1mg/day for 2 years following a hair transplant. I'm on TRT and am not suffering any sides, besides I observe less vascularity when on Finasteride, while not changing my lifestyle and working out on a daily basis. I guess it affects my metabolism burning less fat than when I am not taking it. Is that possible? So, I was contemplating micro-dosing Finasteride at 0.5mg 3 times a week. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@hairtransplantinindia @hairtransplantinindia As described, my body stores more fat than when I‘m not taking it, it seems it slows down my metabolism. The other question regarding micro-dosing, whether you recommend it, and with what protocol has not been answered yet. The other video only gave some general ideas, and you only mentioned, that you recommend taking the full dose up to 6 months past a transplantation, but not how to continue afterward. Thanks!
For those after hair transplant there is no microdosing advised till 6 months - as you have mentioned. For thinning hairs full does for aggressive progression in the young and then tapering it down to 0.5 mg on alternate days. In other with not too much progression but in whom baldness is not yet stable, I start with 0.5 mg on alternate days and then build up. Every patient is not the same. @@firsthelix6726

if you’ve had a hair transplant and you take 1mg a day for 6 months, can you then take your 15 day break and carry on taking breaks after every 3 months from then? Also can you lower the dose after the 6 months, or would it make more sense to keep at 1mg daily indefinitely, providing there’s no sides etc. Thanks!
Once your doctor says that the result has reached finality he may suggest taking a break. Lowering is different from one person to another. There is no one answer.

The shedding is a test the Finasteride you are using is no less than Propecia. Please do not change.
Hi doctor thank you for this video😊. Im 34 year old and i started finsterid 1mg since 1 month. Before i did a blood test for my testosteron and tsh. Teso is 11,1 nmol\l and tsh is 1,01 mU\l. Do you think im a good candidate for this drug? I also take it at 9:00 am should i change the time of taking also. Thank you for every thing.
Levels are fine. Just change the time in consultation with your treating doctor.
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you. I didnt understood doctor wich time are talking about?. Thank you🙂

7 days for aerobic exercises. 14 days for power lifting. You can wear a normal cotton loose fitting cap after 5 days of the procedure.
Thanks a lot respected sir.. God bless you
Now a days meny people suffering from hair loss. This video is very helpful for those people who suffering from that. Your explanation is very clear and easily understood everything. Thanks for sharing
Which blood test should I do? I have been online looking at buying one but there are so many! Is it just testosterone that needs testing? Or do I need to order testosterone and oeatradiol? Thanks.
Total Tt and Total E2
Thank you.
Hi doc, my test results came back as follows: -
Oestradiol - 46pmol/l
Test - 16.7nmol/l
Free test - 0.312nmol/l
Is this ok to start finasteride?
Thank you.
Albumin 46 g/l
SHBG 37.7 nmol/l
That was done first thing in the morning at 8am. I am 35 years old and little to no exercise as I work in an office. I am planning on getting 30-45 mins exercise a day when I start finasteride though.
Hey doctor did you see that eu union try to find a link between finasteride and suicide and one of possibility is to forbid finasteride. How possible is this to happen. Please answer
I do not think this will happen. The report has been blown out of proportion, you know by whom!
@@hairtransplantinindia EMA start investigation and try to find link between finasteride and suicidal idetions. But i dont understand why they try to ban it like antidepresants has a way serious side effects than finasteride. Finasteride completely cured my depression
How possible is for them to ban it
Not likely.
if you’ve had a hair transplant and you take 1mg a day for 6 months, can you then take your 15 day break and carry on taking breaks after every 3 months from then?
Also can you lower the dose after the 6 months, or would it make more sense to keep at 1mg daily indefinitely, providing there’s no sides etc.
Thanks!
Once your doctor says that the result has reached finality he may suggest taking a break. Lowering is different from one person to another. There is no one answer.
Sir i take finestride 1mg tablet but i experience brain fog 😢.what i do sir please help me .😭
Test results?
What is test results i don't understand ?
@@hairtransplantinindia sir I am 21 yo and i have alopecia 3rd stage so i watch on TH-cam and Start taking 1mg finestride twice a week 😥 but i experience mild brain fog and i can't study my concentration is gone i don't feel clearly sir pls suggest me what i do i quit finestride or continue with lower dose like 0.5mg please 🥺 sir
Hello doctor. I'm 32 years old. My hair was loosened from the sides. There is no very aggressive shedding. My brothers are in their 40s and still have hair on top. I had stem cell and PRP but it doesn't work. I started using finasteride daily. I divide the 1 mg pill into 3 and take it every day before going to bed. I want to monitor the situation and adjust the dose. I take xpecia as an extra, morning and evening. Do you think I am on the right track? My testo level is around 800
If the balding is not aggressive you can stay on 0.5 mg on alternate days.
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you for answer
Thank you for sharing this video with us
If I take a break from finasteride, can't that lead to new shedding?
2 weeks will not cause shedding in most cases. The benefits are immense. Try it once.
Can you take it 3 days at week ?!
Yes if you get a result with that dosage and as advised by the doctor you are seeing
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you so much

Pleaes ask your doctor
Stop it for 2 weeks and do blood tests to know your baseline
Nice video thanks for sharing
Nice vdo very helpful video...
It is certain that oral finasteride is more effective but topical finasteride is effective also, it has been confirmed by many studies.
Studies are studies.
@@hairtransplantinindia l totally agree but before administering oral finasteride for mpb the evidence of its efficacy have been shown through studies also.
How may I consult you Dr?

Dr how to delay greying of hair, i am 24 year old male?
Reduce stress- otherwise its all genetics.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you for your valuable advice. Just that beard hairs are greying but not a single scalp hair.
Sir as u said that some people have genetically thin hair and they are not recommend to take finasteride so i also have genetic thinning but i also have severe hair loss so iam a candidate or not and i also have paternal and maternal baldness history
So you have androgenic alopecia and are a strong candidate for the medication.
Sir i have got a hair transplant done two months back i want to keep my existing hairs. I had plained a family and now the conception has been done, now plese tell me should i star the finasteride on alternate days, and over here in pakistan finastetide donot comes in0 .5 mg should i break it into two pieces as i want to keep myself on microdose,i am also on topical but it is not working well please guide me how should i procede. Thanks Doctor bhatti.
Seems you have been prescribed Finasteride by your doctor. You can start it again. Discuss with your doctor who will also say the same. But keep the medication out of reach of your wife. It is a Class X drug for pregnancy.
some people have even experienced PFS from Saw Palmetto. The bottom line is that people respond very differently to medicine.
You are missing another bottom line- some people are overcharged and have psychosomatic issues.
Hello dokter, I did a trichotest from Fagron and they told I don’t respond to finasteride and I have to take topical dutasteride, is theire such a thing as a non gene Responder to finasteride? I never heard of such a thing? Thanks with kind regards
Surely not, esp if the clinic sold you medications from their in house pharmacy
Im 38, have pretty good hair but a little thinning on top. thinking about getting a hair transplant to fix my hairline, im a norwoord 2. Would i need propecia at my age or at 38, my hair loss is probably already maxed?
Advised to take it for 6 months.
Hey Dr., I am taking finastride 1 mg + biotin for 2 months, and now I am seeing a huge hair fall with white ends. Is it normal, doctor?
Yes shedding is normal. Watch: th-cam.com/video/xmj7uEWAvDc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=untF7fENVtk-UOIo
