community With studies showing that 0.2mg Finasteride is almost as effective as 5mg at reducing DHT, why is every doctor prescribing 1mg?
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 Why is 1 mg the go to prescription of finasteride when it’s only 2 procent points more effective than 0.2 mg?
1 mg of finasteride is commonly prescribed because it is more effective for a larger number of people compared to lower doses, despite only slightly reducing serum DHT more than 0.2 mg. Serum DHT and scalp DHT are different, and 1 mg is believed to reduce scalp DHT more effectively, contributing to better hair growth results.
