community With studies showing that 0.2mg Finasteride is almost as effective as 5mg at reducing DHT, why is every doctor prescribing 1mg?

252 upvotes 9 months ago

Finasteride is prescribed at 1mg because it is FDA-approved and proven effective, despite evidence that 0.2mg may similarly reduce DHT. The 1mg dose is more effective for hair growth, and lower doses are less available.

community Do studies say Finasteride shed is real?

learn Finasteride

Is finasteride safe? Studies report that most men tolerate finasteride 1 mg, but case series, regulatory labelling and patient reports describe sexual, mood and cognitive effects that some say persisted after stopping, and how often that happens is not established. It is a prescription-only medicine and is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Topical or oral? Choosing between pills and lotions according to your case. Topical finasteride offers localized treatment with fewer systemic side effects than oral finasteride.

learn Metformin

Can metformin improve scalp health in people with insulin resistance or PCOS? There is no controlled trial showing that metformin improves scalp hair. The PCOS studies most often cited measured unwanted body hair, not scalp density, and a published case report describes hair loss during metformin treatment; any use for hair would be off-label and a decision for a prescribing doctor.
