P-215 Study on Bioequivalence of Finasteride Tablet in Healthy Volunteers

A user shared their baseline bloodwork results before starting Finasteride 1mg every other day, seeking comparison with others who have done similar tests. They are interested in any changes observed after beginning the treatment.

Cutting a 5 mg finasteride tablet into five equal parts and taking one piece daily is recommended for consistent dosing. This approach provides more stable DHT suppression than taking a full 5 mg tablet every five days.

The conversation discusses the differences in inactive ingredients between Sandoz 5mg Finasteride and Proscar/Propecia, questioning the purpose of certain additives like Docusate sodium. It seeks to determine if these differences affect the effectiveness of the treatment for hair loss.

The user is on Finasteride for hair loss, taking 0.5mg daily, and plans to reduce the dose to 0.25mg while making lifestyle changes to lower prolactin, SHGB, and cortisol. They will retest in 90 days to assess progress and are open to advice.

The user is considering reducing their finasteride dose from 2.5mg to 1.25mg to make the supply last longer and is concerned about potential changes in results. They have been using the 2.5mg dose for four months.

User experienced good results with topical finasteride, noting reduced DHT and increased testosterone. They plan to revert to a lower dosage after observing slight libido reduction.
