learn Finasteride

Does stopping finasteride mean losing all progress? Here's what really happens. Studies and the drug label report that finasteride's benefit lasts only while it is taken: after stopping, scalp DHT returns to baseline and hair loss resumes over roughly 6 to 12 months. Stopping a prescription drug is a decision to make with the prescriber.

What is the cost per graft for a hair transplant? Hair transplant costs typically range from $4 to $10 per graft.
Does a higher graft count always lead to better results in a hair transplant? Better results depend on graft quality and placement, not just higher graft counts.

community Increased efficacy of fin/dut: with or without meal?

6 upvotes 4 months ago

Taking dutasteride with a meal containing fat may improve absorption, but consistency in routine is more important than timing. Minor variations in absorption won't significantly affect efficacy due to dutasteride's long half-life.

community I don’t mean this in a disrespectful way, just curious.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 5 upvotes 5 months ago
