I Cut Proscar In Half and Take Every Other Day
ive been taking proscar for the past 3 years..it seems to of stopped any further hair loss but no new hair has grown..i should mention that i cut the pill in half and then take it every other day..so i was wondering if that is a good way to go about taking this medication and if its not would that explain why no new hair has grown in..
Cut the pill into quarters if you can, so that the dose is closer to the 1mg level (recommended to treat hair loss). If you are cutting the Proscar in half, then you are taking 2.5 mgs. There is no problem with the higher dose unless you experience decreased libido which is more common in the higher the dosages. Taking the pill every other day makes it less effective, because it is completely out of your system in less then 24 hours. So the days you do not take the drug, you hair follicles will not be protected and will be exposed to the full hormone DHT level in your body. If you take it every day, you may find a better result from the finasteride.
