Age and Finasteride

Doc,

Do you find older men may need more that 1 mg of Propecia. I’m in my 50’s.

Not usually. The dose is fairly standard and effective for treating hair loss at the 1mg level. More won’t hurt (possibly more side effects), but the impact just might be stronger in a slightly higher dose. Also remember that Proscar (finasteride 5mg) is commonly used for treating the prostate, something that older men should be concerned with.
