Thread: My DHT blood test results (3.5 months on Fin)

If they are really legit pills then you probably need a higher dose.. 3.5 mos is also too soon to evaluate results with your hair with any degree of certainty.

Sandoz is the generic brand that I buy. I am shedding less, itching less and have seen some vellus turn thicker and longer. I wanted to play it safer with the 0.5mg daily given that it's 85-90% as effective as the 1mg according to the dosage response curve.

I'd just like to know if normal range DHT levels while finasteride usage means that it's not working or does it mean that my DHT levels were waaay higher before I started finasteride? (I mean, from other people's experience here, ideas or even by looking at my other numbers... anyone?)
