Although finasteride 1 mg per day(Propecia) is the recommended dose, a slightly increased dose (cutting a Proscar 5mg in quarters to make it 1.25mg) will be as good as a 1mg dose per day.

I don’t know. We can all theorize. Every hair has a biologic clock with regard to genetic hair loss. Medicine is not an exact science. My explanation has been rather simple. It’s genetics!
