Side Effects by Taking More Propecia Each Day?
Hello Dr. Rassman,
I am a 26 year old male, and have been losing my for about 4-5 years now. I’m currently a Norwood class 3.
I am using 2milligram of Propecia daily as it seems to work much better for me than 1 milligram. This might be because of my size (I’m 6’3″ and 205 pounds). I had tried one milligram daily, and still noticed substantial fallout. This fallout was hampered once I started on the two milligrams daily.
My question is weather or not the 2 milligrams of Propecia I am taking can come with any side effects, and weather or not it is completely safe to keep up with the 2 milligrams daily.
If you are not having a side effect at the 2mg dose, then I suspect that you will not see any side effects over time. I do not see a down side to taking the larger dose. The official dose response studies that I am familiar with show that 1mg is as effective as all higher doses and I believe that the studies take it to 5, 10 and even 20 mgs in one doctor’s case. I am not recommending higher doses but it it works for you, I do not see a problem with the 2mg dose.
I have also increased my dose to 1.5mg per day and it has worked better for me as well (considerable less fall out). I am thinking to move up to 2 mg daily. What times of the day do you take the pills? Do you take them at the same time?
