    Default cutting up 5m fin?? seems so small lol

    23 with a deep v widows peak. cant notice depending how i wear my hair, but the edge are thinning more and more. doc prescribed 5mg fin and i been cutting up into 3rds and quarters, but these pieces are so small i fee like there is no way it can be affecting my body, i could be wrong, the 5mg fin is like the size of a tic tac, now imagine a quarter of that. is it just me? its my first week i supposed, and i will admit. My hair feels alot less thin. nothing crazy but definitely not as frail and damaged like it usually does. Anyway

    Is it just me or will the baby tiny pieces of 5mg cut up actually work?
    23 and jumping on fin nizorals biotin conditioner and biotin pills, Good chances?
    first time posting hey everyone ;D

    You have made the best decision of your life to hop on proscar when you did.

    You can just take the 5mg entire pill, that is fine.

    If you get any side effects at all (extremely rare) just keep going and they will eventually stop through treatment as your body gets used to the FDA approved medication.

    I wouldn't recommend taking the full 5mg daily. Follow your doctor's instructions and cut pill into quarters. Yes, it looks small, but that's really all you need. It comes to roughly 1.25 mg/daily, and the recommended dose of Propecia is generally 1mg - so the quarter of the pill is more than enough. Don't overthink it.
