Is Taking Two Propecia Pills Dangerous?

Sometimes I take Propecia right when I wake up, other times I take it at the end of my morning routine (shower, shave, etc). There have been times where I might’ve taken two tablets in the same morning, since I had forgotten whether I took it already. That has made me wonder, is taking two tablets of Propecia in one day dangerous? I try not to do it on purpose, but I figured it was better to have two tablets than no tablet.

Taking two Propecia (finasteride 1mg) tablets by mistake is not dangerous. Some men take five times the Propecia dose for prostate conditions (5mg finasteride is Proscar).

You should NOT be taking more on purpose, because it will not do much with respect to hair loss/growth. One Propecia taken daily is the recommended dose for the treatment of male pattern baldness. If you happen to take two by mistake, you’re not likely to see problems… but it should be noted that the more drug you take over the recommended does, the higher incidence of sexual and other side effects.
