Is Propecia Time Released?

I’ve read that taking half a dose of propecia is not good because it is a time release drug and cutting it will release to much of the medicine at once. Is their any truth to this?

Propecia is not time released. Take it as directed. Recommended dosage is one pill daily. It’s actually quite simple. It has a half life of 4-6 hours and that means that each 4-6 hours, the dose circulating in the blood will reduce by half. Some of the drug gets into the tissue of the hair follicle and it may stay there for a few days (tissue fixation), so that is the reason you do not need a time release on the drug.
