    Yup. The recommended dose for the treatment of hair loss is 1mg. If you are doing good with .5, might as well see if you can handle the full 1mg.

    Hey bro.. I have started a lot of shedding.. there are like 3,4 hairs coming out on each pull.. is it normal just 1.5 weeks after starting ?.. i have read about the shedding but its at least 4,5 weeks after starting Finasteride.. am applying minoxidil 5% as well since the same period.. a bit guidance will be really great..

    Hey Guy, I think it really varies between people. It could be the minoxidil, it's really hard to say. My advice (but bear in mind I'm no expert!) would be to try the finasteride for a month or so first. Let your body get used to it. Then introduce the minoxidil. That way, you can monitor any shedding/side effects more easily. If you introduce both things at once, you won't be able to tell what effect each medication is having.

    Just my thoughts. Good luck buddy
