Higher Dose of Finasteride?
Hello and thanks for creating this blog.
I have been on Propecia for about 2 and a half years and started when I was 19 (though my hair loss started as early as 17). It has worked pretty well but lately I have noticed increased thinning in the front. Though I realize this area is the hardest hit by MPB, would an increase of 1.5 mg of Propecia possibly be helpful here?
Thanks.
Simple answer: No.
Longer answer: Your hair loss may be more pronounced if you never took Propecia. Propecia has its limits and it is not the panacea for preventing the progression of hair loss in all people for all times. As you may know from reading this blog, we are big proponents of mapping your hair on your scalp for miniaturization just to address problems like yours. You are asking if the drug is not working as well, and if your hair loss is progressing. What you are asking in technical terms is: Is my miniaturization stable? These miniaturization measurements will give you values on the miniaturization process, which is the precursor of balding. What I would want to know if I were you is: How fast is the process moving in the wrong direction? With that and a Master Plan in hand, you can intelligently decide on what are your options and what comes next.
