    Default Taking propecia once every two days?

    I was wondering if you could take propecia once every two days. Does the effect of the product only last for a 24 hour period for a 1mg dose? If so, what about getting on a higher dose of 5mg?

    thanks,
    Rob

    Some doctors may prescribe half a tablet once a day or one tablet every other day, however these are not the official recommended dosages. One reason is that official clinical research has found that the once a day dosing gave the maximum benefit from male pattern hair loss

    You can take it every other day with good results if you have been on it for a few months. DHT levels take weeks to return to what they were and many people do take it every other day to avoid side effects. It should still work.
