Prescription: Propecia

[chrisis]

Some of you seem a bit naive.

57mph and hwiser, medicine isn't flawless and hair loss understanding is in its infancy.

The "prescribed dose" is based on very little in the way of science and testing. We're not even sure how safe this drug is and whether it should be prescribed at all.

According to some evidence and anecdotes, men can have almost as much success on finasteride at doses starting at 0.2mg and up.

As pointed out, men who struggle to tolerate finasteride at 1mg might be better off trying at a lower dose. In fact, I'd recommend that to anybody.

Don't give doctors more credit than they're due. You're better off researching the topic yourself and finding out your own answers, than relying on doctors' prescribed dosages and such.

You need to be your own hair loss researcher, doctor and laboratory. Safely of course.
